BURIAL OF THE INTMNISINK


On sunny slope and beechen swell,
The Swallowed light of evening fell;
And when the naples leaf was brown,
With soft and silent lapse came down,
The glory that the wood receives
AT sunset in its golden leaves.
Far upward, in the mellow light,
Rose the blue hills-one cloud of white
Around far uplifted cone
In the warm blush of evening shone;
An image Of the silver lakes
BY which the Indian soul awakes.
But soon funeral hymn was heard,
Where the soft breath of evening stirr'f
The tall gray forest--and band
OF stern in heart and strong in hand,
Came winding down beside the wave
10 lay the red chief in his grave.
They sung--that by his native bowers
He stood, in the last moon OF flowers,
And thirty SHOWS had not yet shed
Their glory on the warriors head -
But as the summer fruit decays
So died he i'll those naked days.
dark cloak of the roebuck's skin
Covered the warrior-snd within
Its heavy folds, the weapons made
For the hard tolls of war were laid -
The cuirass woven of plated reeds,
And the broad belt of shells and beads.
Before, dark haired virgin train
Chaunted the death dirgc Of the slain:
Behind, the long procession came
Of hnary men and chiefs of fame
With heavy hea'ts-and eyes of grief
Leading the war-horse of heir chief.
Siript Of his proud and martial dress,
Uncurbed, unreied and riderless--
With darling eye, and nostrl spread
AID heavy and impatient tread,
He came--and oft that eye so proud
Asked for his rider in the crowd.
They buried the dark chief--thcy freed
Reside tic grave his battle steed--
And swift an arrow cleaved its way
To his stern heart One piercing neigh
Arose--aod on the dead MANS plain,
The rider grasps his sieed again.
