All the air was full of freshness, All the earth was bright and joyous, And before him, through the sunshine, Westward toward the neighboring forest Passed in golden swarms the Ahmo, Passed the bees, the honey-makers, Burning, singing In the sunshine. Bright above him shone the heavens, Level spread the lake before him; >From its bosom leaped the sturgeon, Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine; On its margin the great forest Stood reflected in the water, Every tree-top had its shadow, Motionless beneath the water. From the brow of Hiawatha Gone was every trace of sorrow, As the fog from off the water, As the mist from off the meadow. With a smile of joy and triumph, With a look of exultation, As of one who in a vision Sees what is to be, but is not, Stood and waited Hiawatha. Toward the sun his hands were lifted, Both the palms spread out against it, And between the parted fingers Fell the sunshine on his features, Flecked with light his naked shoulders, As it falls and flecks an oak-tree Through the rifted leaves and branches. O'er the water floating, flying, Something in the hazy distance, Something in the mists of morning, Loomed and lifted from the water, Now seemed floating, now seemed flying, Coming nearer, nearer, nearer. Was it Shingebis the diver? Or the pelican, the Shada? Or the heron, the Shuh-shuh-gah? Or the white goose, Waw-be-wawa, With the water dripping, flashing, >From its glossy neck and feathers? It was neither goose nor diver, Neither pelican nor heron, O'er the water floating, flying, Through the shining mist of morning, But a birch canoe with paddles, Rising, sinking on the water, Dripping, flashing in the sunshine; And within it came a people XII The Son of the Evening Star Can it be the sun descending O'er the level plain of water? Or the Red Swan floating, flying, Wounded by the magic arrow, Staining all the waves with crimson, With the crimson of its life-blood, Filling all the air with splendor, With the splendor of its plumage? Yes; it is the sun descending, Sinking down into the water; All the sky is stained with purple, All the water flushed with crimson! No; it is the Red Swan floating, Diving down beneath the water; To the sky its wings are lifted, With its blood the waves are reddened! Over it the Star of Evening Melts and trembles through the purple, Hangs suspended in the twilight. /*No; it is a bead of wampum On the robes of the Great Spirit As he passes through the twilight,*/ Walks in silence through the heavens Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Five Miles Out, Foreign Affair, Heavens Open, Islands, Moonlight Shadow, Shadow on the Wall, To France, Amarok, Crime Of Passion, Crises, Earth Moving, Far Country, Flying Start, Holy, Magic Touch, On Horseback, Sheba, Taurus II, Altered State, The Bell, Dark Island, Crystal Gazing, Discovery, Poison Arrows, Saved By A Bell, Talk About Your Life, In High Places, Innocent, Pictures In The Dark, Mistake, I Got Rhythm, Sally, Celt, Blue Night, Hostage, Liberation, Sunlight Shining Through Cloud, Man in the Rain, To Be Free, Orabidoo, Nothing But/Bridge to Paradise, Runaway Son, North Point, The Time Has Come, Gimme Back, Make Make, Mr. Shame, No Dream, Northpoint, When The Nights On Fire, Other Oldfield Mike song Lyrics Altered State Lyrics Amarok Lyrics Blue Night Lyrics Bridge To Paradise Lyrics Crime Of Passion Lyrics Crisis Lyrics Crystal Gazing Lyrics Discovery Lyrics Earth Moving Lyrics Family Man Lyrics Far Country Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Oldfield Sally Lyrics Sally Oldfield Lyrics Oldies Lyrics Ole Ivars Lyrics Ole Paus Lyrics Oleander Lyrics Oleta Adams Lyrics Tanon Olga Lyrics Olga Tanon Lyrics Olga Taon Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
