Return to the shores of Gitche Gumee and sing the Song of Hiawatha Out of childhood into manhoodNow had grown my Hiawatha,Skilled in all the craft of hunters,Learned in all the lore of old men,In all youthful sports and pastimes,In all manly arts and labors.Swift of foot was Hiawatha;He could shoot an arrow from him,And run forward with such fleetness,That the arrow fell behind him!Strong of arm was Hiawatha;He could shoot ten arrows upward,Shoot them with such strength and swiftness,That the tenth had left the bow-stringEre the first to earth had fallen!--Longfellow

Autorenporträt
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882) was an American poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha and Evangeline. He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the five Fireside Poets. Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine, which was then a part of Massachusetts. He studied at Bowdoin College. After spending time in Europe he became a professor at Bowdoin and later, at Harvard College. Longfellow retired from teaching in 1854, to focus on his writing, living the remainder of his life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a former Revolutionary War headquarters of George Washington.
