I was reading Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" and I came upon these verses and thought... wait a minute... Cocorosie!
Book XV: Hiawatha's Lamentation
In those days the Evil Spirits,
All the Manitos of mischief,
Fearing Hiawatha's wisdom,
And his love for Chibiabos,
Jealous of their faithful friendship,
And their noble words and actions,
Made at length a league against them,
To molest them and destroy them.
Hiawatha, wise and wary,
Often said to Chibiabos,
"O my brother! do not leave me,
Lest the Evil Spirits harm you!"
Chibiabos, young and heedless,
Laughing shook his coal-black tresses,
Answered ever sweet and childlike,
"Do not fear for me, O brother!
Harm and evil come not near me!"
I thought the rhythm of the lyrics was similar to Longefellows poem but who knows if/when i would have gotten around to comparing them. Thanks for this. Between this and what another said about the deaths of her father and brother, I think I understand where coco was coming from. Seems maybe her father and/or brother was a fan of longfellow and this was her dedication to them.
