Luyện nghe bài hát Hiawatha's Departure

By the shores of gumee,
By the big-sea-water,
At the of the wigwam,
In the summer morning,

stood and waited.
All the air was of freshness,
All the was bright and joyous,
And before him, the sunshine,

Westward toward the forest
in golden swarms the ahmo,
the bees, the honey-makers,
Burning, in the sunshine.

above him shone the heavens,
Level the lake before him;
From it's leaped the sturgeon,
Sparkling, flashing in the

On it's margin the forest
reflected in the water,
Every tree-top had shadow,
Motionless the water.

From the brow of
was every trace of sorrow,
As the fog off the water,
As the mist off the meadow.

With a of joy and gladness,
With a of exultation,
As of one who in a
what is to be, but is not,

Stood and hiawatha.
Toward the sun his were lifted,
the palms spread out toward it,
And between the parted

the sunshine on his features,
Flecked light his naked shoulders,
As it and flecks an oak-tree
Through the leaves and branches.

O'er the floating, flying,
Something in the distance,
Something in the of morning,
and lifted from the water,

Now seemed floating, now flying,
nearer, nearer, nearer.
Was it shingebis the
Or the pelican, the

Or the heron, the
Or the goose, waw-be-wana,
With the dripping, flashing,
it's glossy neck and feathers?

It was goose nor diver,
Neither nor heron,
the water floating, flying,
Through the mist of morning,

But a birch with paddles,
Rising, on the water,
Dripping, flashing in the
And within it a people

(the son of the star)

Can it be the sun
the level plain of water?
Or the red floating, flying,
by the magic arrow,

Staining all the with crimson,
the crimson of it's life-blood,
Filling all the air splendor,
all the air with plumage?

it is the sun descending,
Sinking down the water;
All the sky is stained purple,
All the water with crimson!

No; it is the red floating,
Diving beneath the water;
To the sky wings are lifted,
With it's blood the are reddened!

it the star of evening
Melts and trembles the purple,
suspended in the twilight,
Walks in through the heavens.
