'Tie said a rhipf of lofty rank, In battling for his rnnntry, died. One was he of that band who reign'd The monari'hs of this land, before The pale fared stranger's hand had fitainV f The green npon'lheir hills with goie: One was he of that band. and long Unnioved"lie bore his eonntrv's wrong. He saw Willi sail and sinking henit The warriois f hi youth depart, He saw his loresl lands deray, He saw his people pass aways He saw his onee bright rounnil fire, Kink into ash"s and expire, And yet forbore to raine an arm, To do the intruding stranger haim, But when, one day, his gallant boy, Of his old age and pride and joy, Was borne by kindred hands, and laid A corse, beneath his root-tree's shade, Such undeserved and bitter stroke, The fiend within his bosom woke; And deep he vow'd his future life. To deeds of vengeance, blood and strife But bootless was his firey nge. The stranger's arm was bold and strong Small cause has feeble tight to wage A warfare 'gainst a mighty wrong; And so he fell, bul nobly fell; Refore the home he loved so well! They bore him to his grave at night. That little morning band; And Jadly fhsh'd the torch's light Upon their knives and hatchets bright, And on his gory hand; for in his war attire he lav, The same as when he died that dav. And down by yonder mighty tree Twas bul a sapl.ng then That remnent of the bold and free Laid down the bravest of their men. Then; in ihe dark and gurgling strain, They sadly quench'd the torch's gleam ;nd without word of wail or moan, They lefi tiim to his rest alone. I oft have stray 'J at twilight there, And though that in ie very air There was a slrange.and saddening spell. More potent far than words ran tell; For many a time, when silently I miiso l beneath thai mighty iree, I've almost fancird lhat again I saw iIihI little hurinl train, Ard mark'-!, with awe. -"rang, fingers ylidi Like ghosts along 'he river side. The forms are wantirg. but ihe sound Of the low wind yet whinpen round At even, and the tiny wave Comes gently murmurirg to the spot Where, calmly, in his forest grave.
