1 have raised thee from the grave sod.
By the white man's path defiled ; On to the ancestral wilderness I bear thy dust, my child I I have asked the ancient deserts To give my dead a place.
Where the stately footsteps of the free Alone should leave a trace.
190 SONG OP EMIGRATIOIT, Alone, amidst their hearth-fires, I watched my child's decay ; Uncheered, I saw the spirit-light From his young eyes fade away.
When his head sank on my bosom, When the death-sleep o'er him fell, Was there one to say..., "A friend is near ? " There was none ! — pale race, fare- well 1 To the forests, to the cedars, To the warrior and his bow, Back, back ! — I bore thee laughing thence, I bear thee slumbering now I I bear thee unto burial With the mighty hunters gone ; I shall hear thee in the forest-breeze.
Thou wilt speak of joy, my son I In the silence of the midnight I journey with the dead ; But my heart is strong, my step is fleet, My father's path I tread.
SONG OF EMIGRATION.
There was heard a song on the chiming sea, A mingled breathing of grief and glee ; Man's voice, unbroken by sighs, was there, Filling with triumph the sunny air ; Of fresh green lands, and of pastures new, It sang, while the bark through the surges flew.
