Twas when the sun was shining low,
The chiefs fair daughter, Mi-man-to,
Sat by her father, Ou-ta-wa',
And sported with her Lu-lu-la.
q .SuaJcam thou art. o Mimanto,n
Said 0u-ta-wa' in loves tone low,
Thou art my light in darkest day,
In thy sweet smiles there shines n ray,
So bright and beauteous TO my eye,
without its light faint and die"

Thy words are sweet and full Of cheer.

SO his-iiaf- ~ S1,tt ,7s-,,.s 'ae-' ft =
Twas where the Mssissippis tide
Rolled thro' the shady forest wide,
The Indian Chicftain spread his tent,
And DER his watch-frcs nightly bent
His comrades in the chase and war,
When suddenly appeared from far,
Pale faces from St. Lawrence bank
Marquette and Conrad Loronquon.
OF those grand solitudcs Of yorc
The red mans rule the title bore.
The savage roamcd DER prai9ics wide
And lhro' dense forests quickly hcd,
lie chascd the love aud cherished deer,
And hunted down the wolf and bear,
To war or peace his word was given,
When plenty smiled, or hearts were riven.
Marquette went forth to that broad land,
With pious nc n and friendly hand
To win the savage from his strife
And teach him peaceful arts of lie.
Adventurous youth by famc's desire
Claimed privilege 10 attend the Friar.
The council fire was burning bright,
And lightencd up the drcary night,
When councilmcn with IN ta-wa'
And Iii man-to and l.u-lu-la,
Sat round tl~t lire in cool debate
To fix upon the white mans fate.
