pirp:
The moon that night withheld her light,
BY fits, instead, a lurid glare
Iiumed the skies while mortal eyes
Were closed, and voices rose in prayer
While the revolving sun
Three times his course might run,
The dreadful darkness lasted
And ali that time the red mans eye
A sleeping spirit might espy,
Upon a tree:top Graded high,
Whose trunk his breath had blasted.
So long he slept, he grew so fast,
Beneath his weight the gnarled oak
Snapped, as the tempest snaps the mast
1t fell, and Thunder woke!
The world to its foundation shook,
The grizzly bear his prey forsook,
The s%cowling heavens an aspect bore
That man had never seen before;
The wolf in terror fled away,
And shone at last the light Of day.
Twas here he stood these lakes attest
Where first WAw-KEE-AN's footsteps press'd.
About his burning brow a cloud,
Black as the ravens wing, he wore
Thick tempests wrapt him like a shroud,
Red lightnings in his hand he bore;
Like two bright suns his eyebal1s shone,
His voice was like the lannon's tone;
And, where he breathed, the land became,
Prairie and wood, one sheet of fame.
Not long upon this mountain height
The first and worst Of storms abode,
For, moving in his fearful might,
Abroad the GoD-begotten strobe.
Afar, on yonder faint blue mound,
In the horizons utmost bound,
At the first stride his foot he set
The Earring world confessed the shock.
Stranger the track Of Thunder yet
Remains upon the living rock.
The second step. he gained the sand
On far Superior's storm-bcat strand
Then with his shout the concaves rung,
As up to heaven the giant sprung
d q On high, beside his sire to dwell ~~ss@
But still, Of all the spots an earth,
He loves the woods that gave him BIRTH
