Awaf(ening of Hiawatha.
[ WITH l>UEl APOLIOIEl!-1 TO LONGFElLLQW.]
In the dark and somber forest, Of the wild woods of Wisconsin, On the shores of Gitohe Gurnee, By the fabled Big Sea Water Lies the scene of this, my story. In that land which long ago had Known the deeds of Hiawatha, In this n.ge bereft of Romance, Haped the wonders thn.t I s ing of.
Gleaming in the gathering twilight, Throwing round shu.des most fantn.stio,
Lighting up through gloom the tre e trunks,
Dnno e d the camp fi re of the hunters . In tho bri g ht n.nd m e llow autumn
Thn.t hn.d made th o wood a dreamland,
Th ey hnd heard t h o ca ll of nature, Cast asid e t h o care of oit.y, And hnd nnswered to t h e i nst inct, Nlnch would lead them to t h e fores t.
Great s uccess had crowned the cleer hunt;
Near t h e camp t h e spoi l s of chase nun g , Tn.wny d e e r an d m :> ose and ma ll ard , Wlloro th e fire- li ght p layed upon thorn.
To comp lete a feast of p l e nty , Had t h e yonn g men fi ll e d their pipe bowls, And with joy of youthfnl p len sure , Shone their face s in t h e fire -light, As th e w it of that oharmed circle 'l'o a nd fro passed round t h e campfire.
Song n.ud story from enoh member, Tend to cheer t.he g lad occasion.
Th6n across the Big Sea Water, Came a glowing light; and softly
Through the trees whispered Kaewaydin,
As the mellow moon soared upward.
Dimmer, dimmer grew the campfire,
By the hunters unreplenished, ' Till the lante rn from the t 11nt pole
Only cast its m ys ti o s hado ws . Stori es now of anc ient folk-lore, To th e wierd occasion fitte d, Fill e d the minds of all t ile hearers
With some grew som e fear of ghastly Ghost that way of men had haunted, For so me wrong long since forgotten, D ea d or liv ing it had s uffe r e d.
'!'h e n an a we , almost a terror, Thrill e d the soul of every li s tn e r, As n.round amon g tho pin e trees
Spirits of the night were whisperin g,
And the voi ce of Mudjokeewi~ , Mudj ekee wis th e Wild Wost Wind, Mourning for his iiiawatha Who hnd loug n.go d e parted
From thi s sce u e of earl y l abors, Haud iu hand w ith d readed Pauguk ,
Wide was wafted through t ho for est. And the gloomy ni g ht bird moan • iug,
Far away among the pin e trees, Prophesied wit h di smal bo ding Of n. dreadful mishap p e nding, Or of restless spirits wandering, S eeking suroP.ase of th e ir trouble.
Th en , as with anticipation
Of n. h n. ppe uiug s npcrnntural ,
Quick e r bent t ho h en.rt or on.o il one, Aud their limbs grow oold nud tremb ling-,
For the spirit o! t,h c dnrkuoss
Breathed on nil its spe ll appn lliu g.
Dnriug to d esist uo to n ircr,
Ono whoso h e n.rt grew foiut w i Lh in him,
Who would brenk 11, spol l so fears ome, S li pped fro m ou t hi s li ps t h o p i pe s t em;
From its cnse drew f ort h a gu itar.
As the jan g lin g n otes unsuited, Rosc•upon tho air uncnnny,
All o.round wn s h ushed i u si lence
At t h o stnrt lin g interruption .

88. Aud they did steal a.wa.v in the night while tile rulers of Momilacad knew it not, and came to the Oourt. Verily, there they did see many th ing-s , n.ncl oe~ame wise in the ways of the world ; and women good to look upon came forth in fine linen a.ad danced before the people.
