The Song of Hiawatha

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

’T is the great Gray Eagle talking;

Come, ye white crows, come and hear him!

The loud-speaking thunder helps me;

All the unseen spirits help me;

I can hear their voices calling,

All around the sky I hear them!

I can blow you strong, my brother,

I can heal you, Hiawatha!”

“Hi-au-ha!” replied the chorus,

“Wayha-way!” the mystic chorus.
