THE SUNFISH. 

 ♦ ® » 



SLOWLY upward, wavering, gleaming 

 Rose the Ugudwash, the Sunfish; 

 Seized the line of Hiawatha, 

 Swung with all his weight upon it. 



But when Hiawatha saw him 

 Slowly rising through the water, 

 Lifting up his disc refulgent, 

 Loud he shouted in derision 

 'Esa ! esa ! shame upon you, 

 You are Ugudwash, the Sunfish ; 

 You are not the fish I wanted; 

 You are not the King of Fishes , . ,, 



— Longfellow.
