The league of the Iroquois and other legends : from the Indian muse

21)0 SHIN-GE-BIS.
"Ho !
you are but my fellow man !"
He stirred the coals, a warmer glow
They gave the tears free overran
;
Kabi-bonok-ka's eyes of snow
Fell streaming down ;" Alas !" said he,
"I cannot stay this will not do,
I cannot master him, I see ;
His is a mighty Manito."
Then from the wigwam silently
He went ; still fleeing far and long ;
Still on the land, or on the sea
He heard of Shin-ge-bis the song :
"Heigh ho ! my
Windy God !" sang he,
Let blow the fiercest blasts you may ;
Still Shin-ge-bis will happy be
You cannot freeze him go your way. 11
