For the Charles City lntelligencer.
Wall Of the Winnebago Chief.
Like the shadows in the stream,
Like the evaneecent CLEAN
OF the twilights failing blaze,
Like the ficeting years and days,
Like all things that soon decay,
Pass the Indi an tribes away.
Indian son, and Indian sire |!
IOi the embep Of your IRE,
On the wigwam hearth, burn low.
Never 70 revive its glow;
And the Indians hoart b AillnS,
And the indians blood h failins.
Now the hunters bows unbsnt,
And his arrows al are spent
Like very little child
Is the red man Of the wild;
To his day there'n dawn no morrow;
Therefore b he full Of sorrow.
From his hills the stag Is fed,
And the fallow deer are dead,
And tho wild beasts Of the chase
Are Lost and perished race,
Aud the birds have left the mountain,
And tho fishes, the clear fountain.
Indian woman, to thy breast
Closer let thy babe be pressed,
For thy garb is thin and old,
And the winter wind In cold;
On thy homeless head IL dashes;
Round thee the grim lightning flashes.
We, the rightful lords Of yors,
Are the rightful lords no more;
Like the silver mist We fail,
Like the red leaves in the gale
Fail like shadows, when the dawning
Waves the bright flag of the morning.
BY the rivers lonely marge,
Rotting il the indiana barge;
And his hut is ruined now,
On the rocky mountain brow:
The fathers bones are all neglected,
And the children's hearts detected.
Therefore, Indian people, flee
To the farthest western sea;
Let US yield our pleasant land
To the strangers stronger hand;
Red men and their realms must sever;
They forsake them, and forever! 5. a.
