HIAWATHA'S BROTHERS
HIAWATHA'S BROTHERS
Of all beasts he learned the language,
Learned their names and all
their secrets,
How the beavers built their lodges,
Where the
squirrels hid their acorns,
How the reindeer ran so swiftly,
Why
the rabbit was so timid,
Talked with them whene'er he met them,
Called them "Hiawatha's Brothers."
HENRY W. LONGFELLOW.
