ye shall say they all have p-ssed away,
that n-ble race and brave,
that their light canoes have vanish’d
from off the crested wave.

that ‘mid the forests where they roam’d
there rings no hunter’s shout;
but their name is on your waters,
ye may not wash it out.

’tis where ontario’s billow
like ocean’s surge is curled;
where strong niagara’s thunders wake
the echo of the world;

where red missouri bringeth
rich tributes from the west,
and rappahannock sweetly sleeps
on green virginia’s breast.

ye say, their cone-like cabins,
that cl-ster’d o’er the vale,
have fled away like wither’d leaves
before the autumn gale:

but their memory liveth on your hills,
their baptism on your sh-r-;
your everlasting rivers speak
their dialect of yore.

old m-ssachusetts wears it
within her lordly crown,
and broad ohio bears it
‘mid all her young renown;

connecticut hath wreathed it
where her quiet foliage waves,
and bold kentucky breathed it ho-rs-
through all her ancient caves.

wachuset hides its lingering voice
within its rocky heart,
and alleghany graves its tone
throughout his lofty chart:

monadnock on his forehead h–r
doth seal the sacred trust;
your mountains build their monument,
though ye destroy their dust
