To gain its full flavour, this is a poem to read aloud. I read it as a child, I read it to my son when I was pregnant with him, I read it to him when I fed him as a baby and for the last time I read it to him when he was old enough to enjoy it. He didn't. He hated it, so my favourite book was put on one side, but every now and again I like to read about the West Wind and Minehaha, Laughing Water. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Should you ask me, whence these stories? /

Whence these legends and traditions, /

With the odors of the forest /

With the dew and damp of meadows, /

With the curling smoke of wigwams, /

With the rushing of great rivers, /

With their frequent repetitions, /

And their wild reverberations /

As of thunder in the mountains?

Quotations
By the shores of Gitche Gumee, /

By the shining Big-Sea-Water, /

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis, /
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
