The Indian Maiden's Grave.
nr c c roEaEr.


Beside brook, whose pensive tone
Stole through the stiffness OF the dell
Where, over rock and moss grown sioner
It's limped waters gently iall.
Majestic oaks their branches waved.
And qulvering a-pers softly sighed,
The hawthorn bloomed, and willows Iaved
Their long leaves in the CLASSY tide.
The moonlight thro' the trembling leaves,
'SpaneIed the earth with siivery light ;
And evening mists, in airy wreath
Threw o'er The brook mantle bright
half hid among the silky grass
Beneath an aged willows shade,
Beside mil k-whiIs, marble cross
On which the moonbeans swee:ly played.

Alone, in that secluded spot
To tell where, in her lasI repose,
Lay one by all bot one forgot
She was beauteous Indian maid
Who here, long years ago, had died
And here, by him she loved, was laid
10 sEsep, the murmuring brook beside
And now il was the noon of night,
When, from a cavern's gloomy span
etols forth, into the clear moonlight,
A careworn and inhrm old man.
His white locks floating in The breeze,
With weary step and thoughtful lock,
Emerging from beneath the trees
His way toward the grave he took.
Before the cross in reverence kneeling,
Neekiy, upon the midnight air,
To him ''who bore our sins" appealing,
He poured humble, fervent prayer.
That she who won bis earliest love.
Though unbapsized and unconiessed,
Might find, al last, home above,
To dwell with Him in endless res;-
And thus. his said. for many year,
Mid ssmmer's dew and winters snow
Each midnight hour has found aim there,
TO pray for her who sleeps below.
