• By the shores of Gitchee Gumee,
  By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
  Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
  Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis,
  Dark behind it rose the forest,
  Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,
  Rose the firs with cones upon them;
  Bright before it beat the water,
  Beat the clear and sunny water,
  Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  Daughter, Dark, Moon

  'The Song of Hiawatha' (1855) 'Hiawatha's Childhood'
