His moccasins wide laid<br>Red tracks upon the waves: When Segwun leap'd<br>Gold-red and laughing from the lily-pads,<br>To flit before him like a fire-fly, she found<br>The golden arms of Gheezis round her cast, the buds<br>Burst into flower in her hands, and all the earth<br>Laughing where Gheezis look'd; and Mudjekeewis,<br>Heart friend of Gheezis, laugh'd, 'Now life is come<br>'Since Segwun and red Gheezis wed and reign!'</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Isabella+Valancy+Crawford">Isabella Valancy Crawford</a><div class=q>
