SONG OF WINONA. 247
" Oft when Segwun fair shall brighten
All the plain,
By the wigwam shall the Shaw-shaw
Build again ;
Dear 0-me-me sing her lonesome
Sad- refrain;
But her song will lost Winona
Call in vain.
" Oft shall Minne-wa-wa linger
In the trees ;
Oft shall Show-on-dai-se whisper
To the breeze ;
Loud the Wa-wa clang his honking
On the seas ;
But no more shall wake Winona's
Song with these.
"
Soan-ge-ta-ha, my beloved !
Evermore
On the beautiful Hereafter's
Fairer shore,
Soan-ge-ta-ha's dear Winona,
Gone before,
Still will be his Ne-ne-moosh-a,
Weep no more !
