Winter Walks On Water

Winter walks on water 
      To greet us each year
In the great north of Great Lakes--
Though not as far as
Old Nikomis' wigwam on Gitche Gumee's
Upland shore.

Fisherman's bird flies in snow-
Falling on brown waves.
White caps sing to the
Frosty blanket from afar,
"Hiawatha, can you still hear me?"
