THE INDIAN MAIDS COMPOSITION.

A1AN ANoAh&s 4ih ~ . So2A1 va AAoN'
Through the dark woods and forest wild,
My father roved, rude Natures child,
With tomahawk and bended bow,
To lay the bear and red deer low;
Whilst my mother in the wigwam stayed,
The various wampums there to grade;
To pound the samp, or dress the skin,
And sew my fathers moccasin;
Whilst my brother, in his bark canoe,
Ger the great waves, the waves he drew,
To hunt the wild duck in the creek,
Or spear bright fish in yonder lake;
Whilst I, little Indian Maid
With my little hoops and acorns played,
Or sat by my mothers side all day,
To pound the splints for painted baskets gay.
I could not read, I could not sew,
My SaTior's nameI did not know,
And my parents oft disobeyed,
And to the Lord I never prayed.
The white Missionaries to the forest came,
And taught the red man Jesus name;
The church they built, the school-house reared
And the woods with holy hymns they cheer'd.
Now / can read, now can sew,
hy saviors name I've learned to know;
And now my Savior L implorc,
To bless those white men evermore.
