Where the river winds and PUSHES.
Dashes mOng It's many Douluers,
Secthes and surgcs round It's rocks,
Flows again 10 Join the ocean,
Ceaseiess. silent. silver flowing,
With its songs TO Indian msidens,
With IT'S tales OF endless toillng.
Dwell the chief Of the Pamunkeys,
With his people there surrounding,
with his happy people, dWelt ne.
when the ice on all the river
Melted al the glance Of sunshine,
Melted from the frozen edges
OF the serrate barron shOreiands
When tho snow from all the hill-tops,
Like the clouds OF night had vanished,
And the snow IN all the valleys
From the landscape had departed;
Then came from his wigwam early,
SOon-ge- taha, he the strong heart.
Came and heard the liuebird singing,
Owaissa. tine biuebird sing,
And heard The robin, Opechee.
Saw the heron. the shuh-shuh-ga,
High in heaven. flying southwark
saw the villa goose. called the Nd-wa,
Saw and heard and knew twas spring.
Then from ouc the wigwam also
Came his daughter gaily dancing,
Came and saw her father standing
In tie sunlight by the water.
saw him pg!l the light canoe
From The PUSHES on the shadows,
saw him speed adOwn the current
Saw him when he went aisning.
Then she skipped across the meadow.
That spafkled still with gems Of dew,
Skipped and found Miss Pocahontas
Found her talking 10 some fellow
She had never seen nor heard Or
Talking there % Captain John smith;
Saw and wondered az his wAiskers.
Years wore on. and white men coming
From far lands where first the sun rose,
Dried the springs where Pocahoutas
Drank and gave her friends when thirsty
Broke the arrows Of the Indians,
Quenched The flames OF fire they kindled
And laid their wigWams In tile dust.
The society, too, grew sorry.
And SoOn-ge-taha moved away.
Then came many Indian maidens-
Came as other childrens coming
Game and grew and heard the stories
From the lips of braves and lovers,
Came and knew as Minnehaha,
AS unto The bow the cord Is,
So unto tne man is woman
Though she bends him. she oheys him.
Though She draws him. ger She follows,
Useless each without the other
Heirs were left for an the forests.
Though soon forgotten are the dead,
Lives yet by the river flowing
The great tribe oil the iamuukeys,
Lives there people in this city
or the warrior Soon-ge-taha.
And of these tls .alrrst maiden
is the damsel Indian Lucy.
Indian Lucy, Lumnkins Bottom.
Where the uiehf IS alwavs lively.
With the deeds iy darkness covered.
Where the jewellers shout in freedom.
Where the razor rules The roostlet.
Where the hatchet's never buried,
mere the negroes and lhe Indians
