Explore "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Out of childhood into manhood / Now had grown my Hiawatha, / Skilled in all the craft of hunters, / Learned in all the lore of old men, / In all youthful sports and pastimes, / In all manly arts and labors.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha; / He could shoot an arrow from him, / And run forward with such fleetness, / That the arrow fell behind him! / Strong of arm was Hiawatha; / He could shoot ten arrows upward, / Shoot them with such strength and swiftness, / That the tenth had left the bow-string / Ere the first to earth had fallen!
