246 SONG OF WINONA.
"Hush thy moaning, Es-con-aw-baw,
Hear my cry ;
Hark the plaint of lorn Win-o-na,
She must die !
Gitche Manito, pity me !
pity me .
Linger nigh;
Bear the shade of lost Winona
To the sky !
"Wa-bun An-nung, Wa-bun An-nung,
Hasten, come !
Dwelling where the shining Spirits
Happy roam
;
Bring, oh !
bring thy charmed Chee-maun
O'er the foam ;
Bear Winona's bruised and bleeding
Spirit home.
"
Se-bow-ish-a, Se-bow-ish-a,
Sobbing by ;
Hoarse Da-hin-da, cease thy croaking
Doleful cry ;
Wa-won-ais-se, Wa-won-ais-se,
Plainting nigh,
Hearken to Winona's moaning,
She must die !
