The grouse, that shuns the haunts of men. May here bring up her teach them in their forest home To love its the caverns of the rocks, Scarce changed by cold or timid hare and wily fox Still find a safe retreat. Perhaps the Indian chased the deer. Upon this self-same ground;Perchance he fought the wolf and bear That here a lair had found;But, when the pioneer appeared With axe and spade and gun,These roaming tribes of savage beasts Moved towards the setting sun. Thus tribes and nations are compelled To yield to greater powers ;And what has been the Indians fate, May some time, too, be hope not soon, yet history Repeats itself, we know ;And what shall be this nations fate, Futurity will show. Could yonder mount recite to us The annals of the mysteries would be revealed ! What records be recast!What deeds recounted would to-day Our hearts with rapture thrill! 94 SKETCH OF HAYCOCK RUN
