  picture 
  set 
  forth 
  in 
  the 
  fourth 
  line. 
  Hi!, 
  a 
  woman's 
  exclamation 
  

  

  of 
  surprise 
  and 
  delight 
  ; 
  vnpoHh 
  u" 
  , 
  a 
  term 
  of 
  endearment 
  used 
  by 
  

   an 
  elder 
  sister 
  to 
  a 
  young 
  brother; 
  nil, 
  man; 
  l-rdc, 
  lying. 
  These 
  

   words 
  recall 
  the 
  birth 
  of 
  the 
  man, 
  the 
  cry 
  of 
  joy 
  of 
  the 
  elder 
  sister 
  

   as 
  she 
  enters 
  the 
  little 
  secluded 
  tent 
  and 
  sees 
  that 
  a 
  man 
  lies 
  there. 
  

   Now, 
  as 
  he 
  enters 
  the 
  field 
  of 
  action, 
  he 
  is 
  to 
  prove 
  himself 
  a 
  man 
  

   worthy 
  of 
  the 
  joy 
  awakened 
  at 
  his 
  birth. 
  The 
  music 
  bears 
  out 
  the 
  

   poetic 
  feeling 
  of 
  the 
  words. 
  The 
  climax 
  of 
  both 
  poem 
  and 
  music 
  

   is 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  phrase: 
  "Have 
  they 
  not 
  said, 
  a 
  Man!" 
  This 
  little 
  song 
  

   opens 
  a 
  rift 
  into 
  the 
  inner 
  life 
  of 
  the 
  people 
  and 
  the 
  social 
  responsi- 
  

   bility 
  laid 
  on 
  the 
  men 
  of 
  the 
  tribe. 
  

  

  Harmonized 
  by 
  John 
  C. 
  Fillmore 
  

  

  The 
  aria 
  is 
  as 
  sung 
  by 
  the 
  men. 
  The 
  harmonization 
  translates 
  the 
  song, 
  and 
  is 
  

   preferred 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  played 
  on 
  the 
  piano
