Verse 1
C#m
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big- Sea- Water,
At the doorway of the wigwam,
In the early Summer morning,
Verse 2
C#m
Hiawatha stood and waited.
All the air was full of freshness,
All the earth was bright and joyous,
A
And before him,
F#m
C#m
through the sunshine,
Verse 3
C#m
Westward toward the
neighboring forest
Passed in golden swarms the
F#m
C#m
F#m
C#m
Ahmo,
Passed the bees, the honey- makers,
A
C#m
Burning, singing in the sunshine.
Verse 4
C#m
Bright above him shone the heavens,
Level spread the lake before him;
From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,
F#m
Sparkling, flashing in
C#m
the sunshine;
Verse 5
C#m
On its margin the great forest
Stood reflected in the water,
Every tree- top had its shadow,
Motionless beneath the water.
Verse 6
C#m
From the brow of Hiawatha
Gone was every trace of sorrow,
A
C#m
As the fog from off the water,
A
F#m
C#m
As the mist from off the meadow.
Verse 7
C#m
With a smile of joy and gladness,
With a look of exultation,
As of one who in a vision
Sees what is to be, but is not,
Verse 8
C#m
Stood and waited Hiawatha.
Toward the sun his hands were lifted,
A
C#m
Both the palms spread out toward it,
F#m
C#m
And between the parted fingers
Verse 9
C#m
Fell the sunshine on his features,
Flecked with light his naked
F#m
C#m
F#m
C#m
shoulders,
As it falls and flecks an oak- tree
Through the rifted leaves and branches.
Verse 10
C#m
O'er the water floating, flying,
Something in the hazy distance,
F#m
C#m
Something in the
mists of morning,
F#m
C#m
Loomed and lifted from the water,
Verse 11
C#m
Now seemed floating,
now seemed flying,
Coming nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it Shingebis the diver?
F#m
C#m
Or the pel ican, the Shada?
Verse 12
C#m
Or the heron, the Shuh- shuh- gah?
Or the white goose, Waw- be- wana,
A
C#m
With the water dripping, flashing,
A
C#m
From its glossy neck
F#m
C#m
and feathers?
Verse 13
C#m
It was neither goose nor diver,
Neither pelican nor heron,
O'er the water floating, flying,
Verse 14
Through the shining mist of morning,
C#m
But a birch canoe with paddles,
Rising, sinking on the water,
Dripping, flashing in the sunshine;
A
F#m
C#m
And within it came a

Verse 15
C#m
Can it be the sun descending
O'er the level plain of water?
Or the Red Swan floating, flying,
F#m
Wounded by the magic
Verse 16
C#m
Staining all the waves with crimson,
F#m
With the crimson of its life- blood,
C#m
A
C#m
Filling all the air
with splendor,
F#m
C#m
Filling all the air with plumage?
Verse 17
C#m
F#m
C#m
Yes; it is the sun descending,
Sinking down into the water;
All the sky is stained with purple,
F#m
All the water flushed
C#m
with crimson!
Verse 18
C#m
No; it is the Red Swan floating,
Diving down beneath the water;
A
F#m
A
C#m
To the sky its wings are lifted,
A
With its blood the waves
F#m
C#m
are reddened!
Verse 19
C#m
F#m
C#m
Over it the Star of Evening
Melts and trembles through the purple,
F#m
C#m
Hangs suspended in the twilight,
A
F#m
C#m
Walks in silence through the heavens.
