By the shining Big - Sea-Water
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine trees,
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water,
Beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big - Sea-Water.
There the wrinkled old Nokomis
Nursed the little Hiawatha,
Rocked him in his linden cradle,
Bedded soft in moss and rushes,
Safely bound with reindeer sinews;
Stilled his fretful cry by saying,

แ "Hush! the Naked Bear will hear thee!" Lulled him into slumber, singing,

"Ewa-Yea! my little owlet!

Who is this that lights the wigwam?
With his great eyes lights the wigwam?
Ewa-Yea! my little owlet."

Captain Standish planted the corn, and when it came up, the people had more to eat. The Indians were kind to them because they were kind to the Indians.

They cut down the trees and built their houses. In the forest they found
