I bring thee wampum white. <br>Sheathe thy knife whose blade has tasted my young kinsman's blood to-night <br>Ere it drink to slake its thirsting, <br> I have brought thee wampum white.&quot; </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Answers he, &quot;O Dawendine! I will let thy kinsmen be, <br>I accept thy belt of wampum; but my hate demands for me <br>That they give their fairest treasure, <br> Ere I let thy kinsmen be. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">&quot;Dawendine, for thy singing, for thy suing, war shall cease; <br>For thy name, which speaks of dawning, Thou shalt be the dawn of peace; <br>For thine eyes whose purple shadows tell of dawn, <br> My hate shall cease. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">&quot;Dawendine, Child of Dawning, hateful are thy kin to me; <br>Red my fingers with their heart blood, but my heart is red for thee: <br>Dawendine, Child of Dawning, <br> Wilt thou fail or follow me?&quot; </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And her kinsmen still are waiting her returning from the night, <br>Waiting, waiting for her coming with her belt of wampum white; <br>But forgetting all, she follows, <br> Where he leads through day or night. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">There's a spirit on the river, there's a ghost upon the shore, <br>And they sing of love and loving through the starlight evermore, <br>As they steal amid the silence, <br> And the shadows of the shore.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Emily+Pauline+Johnson">Emily Pauline Johnson</a><div class=q>
