>>11540942He saw the fire-fly, Wah-wah-taysee?
Flitting through the dusk of evening,
With the twinkle of its candle
Lighting up the brakes and bushes,
And sang the song of children,
Sang the song Nokomis taught him:
"Wah-wah-taysee, little fire-fly,
Little, flitting, white-fire insect,
Little, dancing, white-fire creature,
Light me with your little candle,
Ere upon my bed I lay me,
Ere in sleep I close my eyelids!"
