Explore "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"As unto the bow the cord is, / So unto the man is woman; / Though she bends him, she obeys him, / Though she draws him, yet she follows, / Useless each without the other!"
Thus the youthful Hiawatha / Said within himself and pondered, / Much perplexed by various feelings, / Listless, longing, hoping, fearing, / Dreaming still of Minnehaha, / Of the lovely Laughing Water, / In the land of the Dacotahs.
