    Verse 1

    By 
    the 
    shores 
    of 
    Gitche 
    Gumee, 

    By 
    the 
    shining 
    Big- 
    Sea- 
    Water, 

    At 
    the 
    doorway 
    of 
    the 
    wigwam, 

    In 
    the 
    early 
    Summer 
    morning, 

    Verse 2
    Hiawatha 
    stood 
    and 
    waited. 

    All 
    the 
    air 
    was 
    full 
    of 
    freshness, 

    All 
    the 
    earth 
    was 
    bright 
    and 
    joyous, 

    And before 
    him, 

    through 
    the 
    sun
    shine, 

    Verse 3
    Westward 
    toward 
    the 

    neighboring 
    forest 

    Passed 
    in 
    golden 
    swarms 
    the 

    Ahmo, 

    Passed 
    the 
    bees, 
    the 
    honey- 
    makers, 

    Burning, 
    singing 
    in 
    the 
    sunshine. 

    Verse 4
    Bright 
    above 
    him 
    shone 
    the 
    heavens, 

    Level 
    spread 
    the 
    lake 
    before 
    him; 

    From 
    its 
    bosom 
    leaped 
    the 
    sturgeon, 

    Sparkling, 
    flashing 
    in 

    the 
    sunshine; 

    Verse 5
    On its 
    margin 
    the 
    great 
    forest 

    Stood 
    reflected 
    in 
    the 
    water, 

    Every 
    tree- 
    top 
    had 
    its 
    shadow, 

    Motionless 
    beneath 
    the 
    water. 

    Verse 6
    From the 
    brow 
    of 
    Hiawatha 

    Gone 
    was 
    every 
    trace 
    of 
    sorrow, 

    As 
    the fog 
    from 
    off 
    the 
    water, 

    As 
    the 
    mis
    from 
    off 
    the 
    meadow. 

    Verse 7
    With 
    smile 
    of 
    joy 
    and 
    gladness, 

    With 
    look 
    of 
    exultation, 

    As 
    of 
    one 
    who 
    in 
    vision 

    Sees 
    what 
    is 
    to 
    be, 
    but 
    is 
    not, 

    Verse 8
    Stood 
    and 
    waited 
    Hiawatha. 

    Toward the 
    sun 
    his 
    hands 
    were 
    lifted, 

    Both 
    the 
    palms 
    spread 
    out 
    toward 
    it, 

    And 
    between 
    the 
    par
    ted 
    fingers 

    Verse 9
    Fell 
    the 
    sunshine 
    on 
    his 
    features, 

    Flecked 
    with 
    light 
    his 
    naked 

    shoulder
    s, 

    As 
    it 
    falls 
    and 
    flecks 
    an 
    oak- 
    tree 

    Through 
    the 
    rifted 
    leaves 
    and 
    branches. 

    Verse 10
    O'er 
    the 
    water 
    floating, 
    flying, 

    Something 
    in 
    the 
    hazy 
    distance, 

    Something 
    in 
    the 

    mists 
    of 
    morning, 

    Loomed 
    and 
    lifted 
    from 
    the 
    water, 

    Verse 11
    Now 
    seemed 
    floating, 

    now 
    seemed 
    flying, 

    Coming 
    nearer, 
    nearer, 
    nearer. 

    Was 
    it 
    Shingebis 
    the 
    diver? 

    Or 
    the 
    pel
    ic
    an, 
    the 
    Shada? 

    Verse 12
    Or 
    the 
    heron, 
    the 
    Shuh- 
    shuh- 
    gah? 

    Or the 
    white 
    goose, 
    Waw- 
    be- 
    wana, 

    With 
    the 
    water 
    dripping, 
    flashing, 

    From 
    its 
    glossy 
    neck 

    and 
    feathers? 

    Verse 13
    It 
    was 
    neither 
    goose 
    nor 
    diver, 

    Neither 
    pelican 
    nor 
    heron, 

    O'er 
    the 
    water 
    floating, 
    flying, 

    Verse 14
    Through 
    the 
    shining 
    mist 
    of 
    morning, 

    But 
    birch 
    canoe 
    with 
    paddles, 

    Rising, 
    sinking 
    on 
    the 
    water, 

    Dripping, 
    flashing 
    in 
    the 
    sunshine; 

    And 
    within 
    it 
    came

    Verse 15
    Can 
    it 
    be 
    the 
    sun 
    descending 

    O'er the 
    level 
    plain 
    of 
    water? 

    Or the 
    Red 
    Swan 
    floating, 
    flying, 

    Wounded 
    by 
    the 
    ma
    gic 

    arrow, 

    Verse 16
    Staining 
    all the 
    waves 
    with 
    crimson, 

    With 
    the 
    crimson 
    of 
    its 
    life- 
    blood, 

    Filling 
    all 
    the 
    air 

    with 
    splendor, 

    Filling 
    all 
    the 
    air 
    with 
    plumage? 

    Verse 17
    Yes; it 
    is 
    the sun 
    descending, 

    Sinking 
    down 
    into 
    the 
    water; 

    All 
    the 
    sky 
    is 
    stained 
    with 
    purple, 

    All 
    the 
    water 
    flushed 

    with 
    crimson! 

    Verse 18

    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! 

    Verse 19
    Over 
    it 
    the 
    Star 
    of 
    Evening 

    Melts 
    and 
    trembles 
    through 
    the 
    purple, 

    Hangs 
    sus
    pended 
    in 
    the 
    twilight, 

    Walks 
    in 
    silence 
    through the 
    heavens.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
