The Strong Hunter.
There's a warrior hunting o'er prairie and hill, Who in sunshine or starlight is eager to kill, Who ne'er sleeps by his fire on the wild river's shore, Where the green cedars shake to the white rapids' roar. Ever tireless and noiseless, he knows not repose, Be the land filled with summer, or lifeless with snows; But his strength gives him few he can count as his friends, Man and beast fly before him wherever he wends, For he chases alike every form that has breath, And his darts must strike all,--for that hunter is Death!! Lo! a skeleton armed, and his scalp-lock yet streams; From this vision of fear of the Iroquois' dreams!
