You shall hear how Pau-Puk-Keewis, / How the handsome Yenadizze / Danced at Hiawatha's wedding; / How the gentle Chibiabos, / He the sweetest of musicians, / Sang his songs of love and longing; / How Iagoo, the great boaster, / He the marvellous story-teller, / Told his tales of strange adventure, / That the feast might be more joyous, / That the time might pass more gayly, / And the guests be more contented.
Sumptuous was the feast Nokomis / Made at Hiawatha's wedding; / All the bowls were made of bass-wood, / White and polished very smoothly, / All the spoons of horn of bison, / Black and polished very smoothly.
