Out of childhood into manhood	A
Now had grown my Hiawatha	B
Skilled in all the craft of hunters	C
Learned in all the lore of old men	D
In all youthful sports and pastimes	E
In all manly arts and labors	C
Swift of foot was Hiawatha	B
He could shoot an arrow from him	F
And run forward with such fleetness	C
That the arrow fell behind him	F
Strong of arm was Hiawatha	B
He could shoot ten arrows upward	G
Shoot them with such strength and swiftness	C
That the tenth had left the bow string	H
Ere the first to earth had fallen	I
He had mittens Minjekahwun	I
Magic mittens made of deer skin	I
When upon his hands he wore them	J
He could smite the rocks asunder	K
He could grind them into powder	K
He had moccasins enchanted	L
Magic moccasins of deer skin	I
When he bound them round his ankles	C
When upon his feet he tied them	J
At each stride a mile he measured	G
Much he questioned old Nokomis	C
Of his father Mudjekeewis	C
Learned from her the fatal secret	M
Of the beauty of his mother	K
Of the falsehood of his father	K
And his heart was hot within him	F
Like a living coal his heart was	C
Then he said to old Nokomis	C
'I will go to Mudjekeewis	C
See how fares it with my father	K
At the doorways of the West Wind	N
At the portals of the Sunset '	O
From his lodge went Hiawatha	B
Dressed for travel armed for hunting	H
Dressed in deer skin shirt and leggings	C
Richly wrought with quills and wampum	P
On his head his eagle feathers	C
Round his waist his belt of wampum	P
In his hand his bow of ash wood	A
Strung with sinews of the reindeer	Q
In his quiver oaken arrows	C
Tipped with jasper winged with feathers	C
With his mittens Minjekahwun	I
With his moccasins enchanted	L
Warning said the old Nokomis	C
'Go not forth O Hiawatha	B
To the kingdom of the West Wind	N
To the realms of Mudjekeewis	C
Lest he harm you with his magic	R
Lest he kill you with his cunning '	O
But the fearless Hiawatha	B
Heeded not her woman's warning	H
Forth he strode into the forest	S
At each stride a mile he measured	G
Lurid seemed the sky above him	F
Lurid seemed the earth beneath him	F
Hot and close the air around him	F
Filled with smoke and fiery vapors	C
As of burning woods and prairies	C
For his heart was hot within him	F
Like a living coal his heart was	C
So he journeyed westward westward	G
Left the fleetest deer behind him	F
Left the antelope and bison	I
Crossed the rushing Esconaba	T
Crossed the mighty Mississippi	U
Passed the Mountains of the Prairie	U
Passed the land of Crows and Foxes	C
Passed the dwellings of the Blackfeet	G
Came unto the Rocky Mountains	C
To the kingdom of the West Wind	G
Where upon the gusty summits	C
Sat the ancient Mudjekeewis	C
Ruler of the winds of heaven	I
Filled with awe was Hiawatha	B
At the aspect of his father	K
On the air about him wildly	U
Tossed and streamed his cloudy tresses	C
Gleamed like drifting snow his tresses	C
Glared like Ishkoodah the comet	G
Like the star with fiery tresses	C
Filled with joy was Mudjekeewis	C
When he looked on Hiawatha	B
Saw his youth rise up before him	F
In the face of Hiawatha	B
Saw the beauty of Wenonah	I
From the grave rise up before him	F
'Welcome ' said he 'Hiawatha	B
To the kingdom of the West Wind	G
Long have I been waiting for you	V
Youth is lovely age is lonely	U
Youth is fiery age is frosty	U
You bring back the days departed	G
You bring back my youth of passion	I
And the beautiful Wenonah '	O
Many days they talked together	K
Questioned listened waited answered	G
Much the mighty Mudjekeewis	C
Boasted of his ancient prowess	C
Of his perilous adventures	C
His indomitable courage	W
His invulnerable body	U
Patiently sat Hiawatha	B
Listening to his father's boasting	H
With a smile he sat and listened	G
Uttered neither threat nor menace	C
Neither word nor look betrayed him	F
But his heart was hot within him	F
Like a living coal his heart was	C
Then he said 'O Mudjekeewis	C
Is there nothing that can harm you	V
Nothing that you are afraid of '	O
And the mighty Mudjekeewis	C
Grand and gracious in his boasting	H
Answered saying 'There is nothing	H
Nothing but the black rock yonder	K
Nothing but the fatal Wawbeek '	O
And he looked at Hiawatha	B
With a wise look and benignant	G
With a countenance paternal	X
Looked with pride upon the beauty	G
Of his tall and graceful figure	K
Saying 'O my Hiawatha	B
Is there anything can harm you	V
Anything you are afraid of '	O
But the wary Hiawatha	B
Paused awhile as if uncertain	I
Held his peace as if resolving	H
And then answered 'There is nothing	H
Nothing but the bulrush yonder	K
Nothing but the great Apukwa '	O
And as Mudjekeewis rising	H
Stretched his hand to pluck the bulrush	Y
Hiawatha cried in terror	K
Cried in well dissembled terror	K
'Kago kago do not touch it '	O
'Ah kaween ' said Mudjekeewis	C
'No indeed I will not touch it '	O
Then they talked of other matters	C
First of Hiawatha's brothers	C
First of Wabun of the East Wind	G
Of the South Wind Shawondasee	C
Of the North Kabibonokka	H
Then of Hiawatha's mother	K
Of the beautiful Wenonah	I
Of her birth upon the meadow	G
Of her death as old Nokomis	C
Had remembered and related	G
And he cried 'O Mudjekeewis	C
It was you who killed Wenonah	I
Took her young life and her beauty	G
Broke the Lily of the Prairie	G
Trampled it beneath your footsteps	C
You confess it you confess it '	O
And the mighty Mudjekeewis	C
Tossed upon the wind his tresses	C
Bowed his hoary head in anguish	Z
With a silent nod assented	G
Then up started Hiawatha	B
And with threatening look and gesture	K
Laid his hand upon the black rock	H
On the fatal Wawbeek laid it	G
With his mittens Minjekahwun	I
Rent the jutting crag asunder	K
Smote and crushed it into fragments	C
Hurled them madly at his father	K
The remorseful Mudjekeewis	C
For his heart was hot within him	F
Like a living coal his heart was	C
But the ruler of the West Wind	G
Blew the fragments backward from him	F
With the breathing of his nostrils	C
With the tempest of his anger	K
Blew them back at his assailant	G
Seized the bulrush the Apukwa	A2
Dragged it with its roots and fibres	C
From the margin of the meadow	G
From its ooze the giant bulrush	Y
Long and loud laughed Hiawatha	B
Then began the deadly conflict	G
Hand to hand among the mountains	C
From his eyry screamed the eagle	X
The Keneu the great war eagle	X
Sat upon the crags around them	J
Wheeling flapped his wings above them	J
Like a tall tree in the tempest	G
Bent and lashed the giant bulrush	Y
And in masses huge and heavy	G
Crashing fell the fatal Wawbeek	H
Till the earth shook with the tumult	G
And confusion of the battle	X
And the air was full of shoutings	C
And the thunder of the mountains	C
Starting answered 'Baim wawa '	O
Back retreated Mudjekeewis	C
Rushing westward o'er the mountains	C
Stumbling westward down the mountains	C
Three whole days retreated fighting	H
Still pursued by Hiawatha	B
To the doorways of the West Wind	G
To the portals of the Sunset	G
To the earth's remotest border	K
Where into the empty spaces	C
Sinks the sun as a flamingo	H
Drops into her nest at nightfall	B2
In the melancholy marshes	C
'Hold ' at length cried Mudjekeewis	C
'Hold my son my Hiawatha	B
'T is impossible to kill me	G
For you cannot kill the immortal	X
I have put you to this trial	X
But to know and prove your courage	W
Now receive the prize of valor	K
'Go back to your home and people	X
Live among them toil among them	J
Cleanse the earth from all that harms it	G
Clear the fishing grounds and rivers	C
Slay all monsters and magicians	C
All the Wendigoes the giants	C
All the serpents the Kenabeeks	C
As I slew the Mishe Mokwa	A2
Slew the Great Bear of the mountains	C
'And at last when Death draws near you	V
When the awful eyes of Pauguk	H
Glare upon you in the darkness	C
I will share my kingdom with you	V
Ruler shall you be thenceforward	G
Of the Northwest Wind Keewaydin	I
Of the	B
