Not tribe were so free-not tribe We're sobrave
And re fought and we conquered the insoent Toe,
And our maids taught us love where the weep-wll-

We slumbered and dreamed, as in daylight we rovd;

slain. - So

But the heartbroken Indian who cares for his fate
The fox hath les cavesn--ihe eagle his nest,
But the Iowa cheltain hath no sctsre 10 rest Z"
