And where ynn hrnnk


Upriscs from the river side,
'ris said a chief of lofty rank,
In battling for his country, died.
One was he Of that band who reign'd
The monarchs of this land, before
The pale faced strangers hand had stan'd
The green upon'their hills with gole:-
One was he Of that band, and long
Unmoved'he bore his couniry's wrong.
lie saw WIN sad and sinking heart
The warriors of his youth depart,
He saw his forest lands decay,
He saw his people pass away;
He saw his once bright council fire,
Sink into ashes and expire,
And vet rorbore to raise an arm,
To do the inruding stranger ham,
Bu, when, one day, his gallant boy,
Ofhis old age and pride and JOY
Was borne by kindred hands, and laid
corse, beneath his root"Tee's shade,
Such undeserved and bitter stroke,
The fend within his bosom woke;
And deep he vow'd his future life.
TO deeds Of vengeance, blood ard strife
Rut bootless was his frey rage.
The strangers arm was bold and strong
Small cause has feeble right TO wage
warfare 'gainu mighty wrong;
And so he fell, but nobly fell;
Psrore the home he loved so well!
They bore him to his grave at night
That little morning band;
And sadly hash'd the torch'S light
Iroon their knives and hatchets bright,
And on his CORY hand;
For in his war attire he lay.
The same as when he died that day.
And down by yonder mighty tree
.Twss but a sarIng then
Tha, remnent of the bold aud free
Laid down the bravest of their men.
Then: in the dark and gurgIIng steam,
They sadly quench'd the Iorch's CLEAN
md without word Of wall or moan,
They lel, him to his rest alone
loft have stray'd at twilight there
And though that in lSe very air
There was a strange and saddenng speI
More potent far Than words can tell;
For many a time, when silently
musoI beneath that mighty Tree,
I I've almost rancied that again
| saw that little burial train,
Aad msrk'd,wuh e,slrang, fingers gil,
Like ghosts along he river side.
The forms are wanting, but the sound
OF The low wind yet whispers round
AT even, and the tiny wave
Comes gently murmuring to the spot
Where, calmly, in his forest grave
That mighty chiefain sleeps forgot
