Howard Wert No 8 THE DYING CHIEF BY EIiMIRA FREEMAN Elmira Freeman, an English poetess of great vigor of expression, hail a I romantic and checked career. Married, in early lit'e, to Richard Barton, thev lived unhappily together and were soon divorced. Married, subsequently, to Charles Weston, a country gentleman, she deserted him and established herself in France. This is one of the many poems that have had their origin from incidents ' connected with battles between the Castilians and the Saracens for the posses | sion of the Iberian peninsula. It was from the romances and heroisms of these | contests, extending over centuries, that Washington Irving drew the inspiration j to which we are indebted for several of his ablest works tracing the rise and j fall of the Mohammedan power in Spain. / The stars look'd down on the battle plain, Where night-winds were deeply sighing. And with shatter'd lance near his war steed slain. Lay a youthful chieftain dying. He had folded round his gallant breast The banner, once o'er him streaming. For a noble shroud, as he sunk to rest On the couch that knows no dreaming. Proudly he lay on his broken shield, By the rushing Guadalquiver, While, dark with the blood of his last red field, ■Swept on the majestic river. There were hands which came to bind his wound, There were eyes o'er the warrior weeping, But he raised his head from the dewy ground, Where the land's high hearts were sleeping! And "Away!" he cried—"your aid is* vain, My soul may not brook recalling,— I have seen the stately flower of Spain Like the autumn vine leaves falling! "I have seen the Moorish banners wave O'er the halls where my youth was cherish'd; I have drawn a sword that could not sav^; I have stood where my king hath perish'd; Leave me to die with the free and brave, On the banks of my own bright river! Ye can give me naught but a warrior's grave, By the chainless Guadalquiver!"
