Explore "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In those days the Evil Spirits, / All the Manitos of mischief, / Fearing Hiawatha's wisdom, / And his love for Chibiabos, / Jealous of their faithful friendship, / And their noble words and actions, / Made at length a league against them, / To molest them and destroy them.
Hiawatha, wise and wary, / Often said to Chibiabos, / "O my brother! do not leave me, / Lest the Evil Spirits harm you! " / Chibiabos, young and heedless, / Laughing shook his coal-black tresses, / Answered ever sweet and childlike, / "Do not fear for me, O brother! / Harm and evil come not near me!"
