Sing, O Song of Hiawatha, / Of the happy days that followed, / In the land of the Ojibways, / In the pleasant land and peaceful! / Sing the mysteries of Mondamin, / Sing the Blessing of the Cornfields!
Buried was the bloody hatchet, / Buried was the dreadful war-club, / Buried were all warlike weapons, / And the war-cry was forgotten. / There was peace among the nations; / Unmolested roved the hunters, / Built the birch canoe for sailing, / Caught the fish in lake and river, / Shot the deer and trapped the beaver; / Unmolested worked the women, / Made their sugar from the maple, / Gathered wild rice in the meadows, / Dressed the skins of deer and beaver.
