- 02:453. He was dressed in shirt of doe skin
- 02:584. First he danced a solemn measure
- 04:045. Then they said to Chibiabos
- 05:476. "Onaway! Awake, beloved!"
- 01:217. Thus the gentle Chibiabos
- 03:288. Very boastful was Iagoo

- 02:485. By the shore of Gitche Gumee
- 02:396. From the brow of Hiawatha
- 02:497. It was neither goose nor diver
- 04:238. Then the joyous Hiawatha
- 03:429. Then the generous Hiawatha
- 03:4410. Then the Black-Robe chief, and prophet
- 02:2311. Heavy with the heat and silence
- 04:1712. From his place rose Hiawatha
- 03:3513. On the shore stood Hiawatha
- 04:0814. And they said "Farewell for ever"
