Till- YOUNG INDIAN'S SONG . I'll hie to the westward, my own native home, On the breast of the ilaik rolling river; My light bark shall dance o'er its water in foam, With the forv-e that a strong arm can give htr. I'll Lie to the west, to the land of my birth. And revisit the femes of my childhood I 1 will roam t!. rough the glades where lay jonng arrow i;rst, Drunk the blood of the deer in the wild wood. 1 will rush to the arms of iry dear Indian girl, As she con.es on the path -way to meet meTil ikek her dark locks with the white shinir pearl, Ami her young heart shall thro'o as she greets me. I have bean to the white world: and found that hi r ir.cn Were as pale in their hearts as tht ir (aces; Then welcome ye forests! I nt vtT airani Will abandon my home for their places. Great St int look dtuvn on thy red sun in love, Sp ed my bark o'er the wide lake before me! Ai.d the smoke of my incense shall column above The ru le altar I rai-e to niore thee!
