I suspect that Anne had been reading Longfellow:

Quote:
By the shore of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
At the doorway of his wigwam,
In the pleasant Summer morning,
Hiawatha stood and waited.
Though given that she had only really started her schooling when she was put into the orphanage, that seems to be a bit of a stretch.

I think you are right gmw - what a loss for the world of melodrama when Anne decided to study and be a teacher!
