Rhyme Scheme: A BCBDEFFGHBIGJBKGHCLC ALCLMGGNA| from The Song of Hiawatha | A |
| - | |
| By the shore of Gitchie Gumee | B |
| By the shining Big Sea Water | C |
| At the doorway of his wigwam | B |
| In the pleasant Summer morning | D |
| Hiawatha stood and waited | E |
| All the air was full of freshness | F |
| All the earth was bright and joyous | F |
| And before him through the sunshine | G |
| Westward toward the neighboring forest | H |
| Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo | B |
| Passed the bees the honey makers | I |
| Burning singing in the sunshine | G |
| Bright above him shown the heavens | J |
| Level spread the lake before him | B |
| From its bosom leaped the sturgeon | K |
| Aparkling flashing in the sunshine | G |
| On its margin the great forest | H |
| Stood reflected in the water | C |
| Every tree top had its shadow | L |
| Motionless beneath the water | C |
| From the brow of Hiawatha | A |
| Gone was every trace of sorrow | L |
| As the fog from off the water | C |
| And the mist from off the meadow | L |
| With a smile of joy and triumph | M |
| With a look of exultation | G |
| As of one who in a vision | G |
| Sees what is to be but is not | N |
| Stood and waited Hiawatha | A |
