And, on thy Eagle's plmne.
Rides forth, like Sinbad on his bird, Or witch upon her broom !
Below me roar the rocking pines.
Before me spreads the lake, Whose long and solemn-sounding waves Against the sunset break.
I hear the wild Rice-Eater thresh The grain he has not sown ; I see, with flashing scythe of fire.
The prairie harvest mown !
66 POBMS.
I hear the far-off voyager^s horn ; I see the Yankee's trail — His foot on every mountain-pass.
On every stream his sail.
By forest, lake and water-...fall, I see his pedkr show ; The mighty mingling with the mean, The lofty with the low.
He 's whittling by St. Mary's Falls, Upon his loaded wain ; He 's measuring o'er the Pictured Rocks, With eager eyes of gain.
I hear the mattock in the mine, The axe-stroke in the dell, The clamor from the Indian lodge, The Jesuit chapel bell !
I see the swarthy trappers come From Mississippi's springs ; And war-chiefs, with their painted brows, And crests of eagle wings.
ON RECEIVING AN EAGLE 's QUILL. 0B Behind the scared squaw's birch canoe, The steamer smokes and iaie$j And ciiy lots are staked for sale Above old Indian graves.
