On the site of his ancient hunting ground,
BY the Mis>issppi's flow, g 4
At the side of consecrated mound s.-
Stood the dark browed Oseo.
Twas fearful weight on his heart that day,
And it beat as knell of DEATH
When he saw how his tribe were all swept away,
As dry leaves BY the whirlwind's breath.
His heart swelled high with the grief he felt, T.
And his tears the rain did flow,
And he bowed as the dry aud leafess tree
Bends beneath the woodman's blow,
He wept as the broken hearted weep
When overwhelmed by sudden blow,
For there all around lay the disentombed,
Sad sighs Of his nations woe.
He drew to his bosom his wife and boy, r. r4s
And murmured, know we must die,
But Oh to be cast, as dog on the earth,
And our bodies unburied to lie
The white man stands by his fathers grave,
And deems it a sacred spot, sa
But the red man is torn from his resting place,
And the white man heedeth it not
We have fed from before him, as flies the red deer

But graves as his protege we hoped he revere
Nor yield them to plunder and sack
Twas fearful to gaze on his agonized form,
When Joy from his bosom had fed, .'
He bowed meath the rage Of the gathering storm
As the oak is upturned from its bed.
The wsrkmen, in pity, reburied the bones,
That before had lain bleaching and bare,
For their hearts had been touched BY his sorrowfu
Which were sad as vail of despair. ftones
When feeling how sacred is grief, they retired,
And left him bemoaning his dead;
For he loved none the less, aud his tears were a!
As the tears that his white brother shed. [choice
