Two good friends had Hiawatha,
Singled out from all the others,
Bound to him in closest union,
...
When I remember them, those friends of mine,
Who are no longer here, the noble three,
Who half my life were more than friends to me,
...
Two good friends had Hiawatha,
Singled out from all the others,
Bound to him in closest union,
And to whom he gave the right hand
...
