Page 163 - Saw the moon rise from the water, Rippling, rounding from the water, Saw the flecks and shadows on it, Whispered, " What is that, Nokomis?" And the good Nokomis answered : ' ' Once a warrior, very angry, Seized his grandmother, and threw her Up into the sky at midnight ; Right against the moon he threw her ; 'Tis her body that you see there." Saw the rainbow in the heaven, In the eastern sky the rainbow, Whispered, "What is that, Nokomis...
