242 Chief of all the fowls with feathers,

Chief of Hiawatha's chickens."

And the name of Pau-Puk-Keewis

Lingers still among the people,

Lingers still among the singers,

And among the story-tellers;

And in Winter, when the snow-flakes

Whirl in eddies round the lodges,

When the wind in gusty tumult

O'er the smoke-flue pipes and whistles,

"There," they cry, "comes Pau-Puk-Keewis;

He is dancing through the village,

He is gathering in his harvest!"
