A North-American Death Song.
,r SCHILLER—TRANSLATED BY BERESFORD.
SEATED on his sedgy mat,
See the honour'd dead,
All ere& as erli he fat
Ere his spirit fled : —
Where is now his sturdy gripe ?
Where his manhood's bloom ?
Where the breath that from his pipe,
Puff'd the votive fume? —
Where the eye, that o'er the plain
Mark'd the rein-deer's way ?
Sharper than the falcon's ken
Beam'd its piercing ray : „ /
Where the leg, whole ample Bride
Brush'd the driven snow ?
Fleet as flag, the woodland's pride,
Fleet as mountain roe.
Where the arm, whole peerleG might
Bentfee Bubborn bow ?
(Death has clos'd his eyes in night}—
. Nerveless hangs it nosy!
Cease the plaint—he fours above,
- Far from snow and hail;
Rambles o'er the shady grove,
Breathes the healthful gale.
There, in ev'ry tangled brake
Throng the feather'd brood; ,
Fifties swarm the lucid lake ;
Game, the tufted wood :
There, with happy fouls he eats,
Quaffs his bev'rage there:
While we ling his valiant feats,
And his grave prepare.
Bring the gifts—the last fad boon I
Songs funereal raise:
And in silent grave be thrown
Aught the dead can please :—
'Neath his head the hatchet lay,
Ting'd with hostile blood :.
Bring the grim bear's brawny thigh—*
Long the dreary road I,
Bring the knife whose Sharpen'd blade
Scalp'd the prostrate foe ;
O'er his grave the scalps be laid,
Rang'd in grifsly row:-
\ Store his hand with colours meet.
Ere he takes his flight,
That his shade the ghosts may greet,
Beaming crimfon'd light.
