Upon thy bank Prophet stood
That day Of old
A Prophet " the Indian blood
Aud thus fgfetold
" | see the red men vanish all,
see these loaty forests fall,
! hear stranger people call
Cbickamauga

Not Of my race,
For it bath sought meath other skies
A resting place.
see the whtfo mans haryeets wave,
see the white mans home--his grave
Upon the banks thy waters lave,
Chickamauga.
!" | see adown yon mountain way
Countless they come
The Mortimer, marching many day
Far from their home,
Followed by Widows orphans wall,
With banners floating on the gale,
All now they seek thy peaceful vale,
Chickamauga.
/" Great Spirit bark upon mine ears,
Borne on the breeze,
Now coming up from future years,
What sounds are these?
As when the winds contend in heaven,
And cloud 'gainst cloud in thunder driven,
And all thy forests tempest riven,
Chckamauga.
" Great Spirit as when burning brands,
The opening year,
Prepare the pleasant hunting lands
For nimble deer,
see above the forests rise
Great clouds of smoked but, to mine eyes,
Not like the smoke of peace they rise,
Chickamauga.
" Great Spirit, hear Great Spirit, see
Thy children die,
And thick as leaves meath Autumn trees,
In death they lie.
And, oh NO more.-Upon my sight
Descends the futures viewless night
The vision from thy shore takes flight,
Chickamauga.
oh limpid as thy native spring,
Go, take thy way,
Placid until the ages bring
That distant day;
Tranquil within the peaceful wood,
Until thy waves shall flow in blood,
And then thy name be understood,
Chickamauga."
Oh River of Death ;" prophet-named still
Nine eyes have seen,
Along thy banks, beside thy rill,
Sad horrors TEEN
To Mortimer, who invading come,
To freeman fighting for his home,
To friend, to foe, thou art the tomb,
ChickamaugaI
