Nursed the little Hiawatha,
Rocked him in his linden cradle,
Bedded softin moss and rushes,”

Clumps in the breast with heavy stride;
The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart,
The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide.
Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.”

Green as a bough of yew the beard;
He bent his head, and so I smote;”
