With his long and glossy plumago,

stronger until, putting forth a supreme
effort, he filings Mondamin on the
ground.
And before him, breathess, lifeless,
Lay the youth with hair disheveled.

Dead he lay there in the sunset.
Then Mondamin is buried in the
warm, rich earth and Hiawatba
watches over his grave.
Till at length small green feather
From the earth shot slowly upward,

And before the summer ended
Stood the maize in all its beauty.
Then the corntield is blessed, and
