THE REVENGE OF RAIN-IN-THE.
FACE

All
In that desolate land and alone,
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone,
Roar down their mountain path,
By their fires the Sioux Chiefs
Muttered their woes and grisf-,
And the menace Of their wrath.
Revenge" cried Rain-in-the-Fsce,
Revenge upon all the race
Of the White Chief with yellow hair. !.
And the mountains dark and high
From their crags re-echsed the cry
of his anger and despair.
In the meadow, spreading wide
By the woodland and riverside
The Indian village stood:
All was silent as dream,
Save the rushing of the stream
And the blue jay in the wood.
In his war paint and his beads.
Like bison among the reeds,
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Lay with three thousand braves
Crouched in the clefts and caves.
Savage, unmercifuli
Into the fatal snare
The white chief with yellow hair
And his three hundred Men
Crashed headlong, sword in hand;
But of that gallant band
Not one returned again.
The sudden darkness of death
Overwhelmed them. like the breath
And smoke Of a furnace fire;
BY the rivers bank, and between
The rocks of the ravine
They lay in their bloody attire.
But the fOeman fled in the night,
And Rain-in-the- Face, in his flight,
Cplifted high in air
As gastly trophy, bore
The brave heart that beat no more,
OF the White Chief with yellow hair
Whose was the right and the wrong,
Sing it, o funeral song,
With voice that is full of tears.
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all this ruin and seattle,
In the year of Hundred Years,
Henry ". LonGfeHo,e
