GREAT mother from the depths of forest wilds	A
From mountain pass and burning sunset plain	B
We thine unlettered children of the woods	C
Upraise to thee the everlasting hymn	D
Of nature language of the skies and seas	E
	-
Voice of the birds and sighing of the pine	F
In wintry wastes We know none other tongue	G
Nor the smooth speech that like the shining leaves	H
Hides the rough stems beneath We bring our song	I
Wood fragrant rough yet autumn streaked with love	J
	-
And lay it as a tribute at thy feet	K
But should it vex thee thus to hear us sing	L
Sad in the universal joy that crowns	M
This year of years and shouldst thou deem our voice	N
But death cry of the ages that are past	O
	-
Bear with us say My children of the woods	C
In language learnt from bird and wood and stream	P
From changing moons and stars and misty lakes	Q
Pour forth their love and lay it at my feet	K
The voice is wild and strange untuned to ear	R
	-
Of majesty ill timed to fevered pulse	S
Of this young age and meteor souls that flash	T
New paths upon night's dome yet will I hear	R
This singing of my children ere they die	U
Great mother thou art wise they say and good	V
	-
And reignest like the moon in autumn skies	W
The world about thy feet We have not seen	X
Thy face nor the wild seas of life that surge	Y
Around thy throne but we have stood by falls	Z
Deep shadowed in the silence of the woods	C
	-
And heard the water thunders and have said	A2
Thus is the voice of men about our Queen	X
What is the red man but the forest stream	P
The cry of screech owl in the desert wilds	A
This flood that overflows the hills and plains	B2
	-
Is not for us Back Westward Northward ay	C2
Up to eternal winter 'neath the stars	D2
Our path must be in silence till the snows	E2
And sun and wind have bleached our children's bones	F2
The red must go the axe and plough and plane	B
	-
Are not for him We perish with the pine	F
We vanish in the silence of the woods	C
Our footsteps like the war trail in the snow	G2
Grow fainter while the new spring buds with life	H2
Great mother the white faces came with words	I2
	-
Of love and hope and pointed to the skies	W
And in the sunrise splendour set the throne	J2
Of the Great Spirit and upon the cross	K2
Showed us His Son and asked a throne for Him	D
Their speech was music but in camp at night	L2
	-
We brooded o'er the matter round the fire	M2
The shadowy pines about us and the stars	D2
Set in the silent heavens looking down	N2
We brooded o'er the matter days and years	O2
For thus each thought and thus each spake in words	I2
	-
We children of the woods have lived and died	P2
In these our forests since the first moon tipped	Q2
Their thousand lakes and rivers with her beams	R2
Pale silver in the fading sky of even	S2
Our fathers' faces kindled in the glow	G2
	-
Of setting suns they read the starlit sky	U
They heard the Spirit's breathing on the storm	T2
And on the quaking earth they felt His tread	A2
But never yet the story of His Son	U2
Was wafted to them from the sighing woods	C
	-
Or bird or stream Our fathers' God is ours	V2
And as for these new words we watch and wait	W2
Great mother we have waited days and years	O2
Thro' spring and summer summer autumn spring	L
Brooding in silence for anon we dreamed	X2
	-
A bird's voice in our hearts half sung 'Tis true	Y2
We listened and we watched the pale face come	Z2
When lo new gods came with them gods of iron	A3
And fire that shook the forests as they rushed	B3
Filling with thunder and loud screeching plains	B2
	-
Mountains and woods and dimming with their breath	C3
The shining skies These new gods who were they	C2
That came devouring all and blackening earth	D3
And sky with smoke and thunder We knew not	E3
But fled in terror further from the face	F3
	-
Of these white children and their gods of iron	A3
We heard no more their story of the Son	U2
And words of love Their own lives were not love	J
But war concealed and fire beneath the ash	T
Thus ever now the burden of our speech	G3
	-
We perish with the pine tree and the bird	H3
We vanish in the silence of the woods	C
The white man's hunting ground it is not ours	V2
We care not for his gods of iron and fire	M2
Our home is in the trackless wilds the depths	I3
	-
Of mountain solitudes by starlit lakes	Q
By noise of waters in the unchanging woods	C
Great mother we have wondered that thy sons	J3
Thy pale sons should have left thy side and come	Z2
To these wild plains and sought the haunts of bears	K3
	-
And red men Why their battle with the woods	C
Whither they go upon their gods of iron	A3
Out of the golden sunrise to the mists	L3
Of purple evening in the setting west	M3
Their lives have scarce as many moons as ours	V2
	-
Nor happier are We know not what they seek	N3
For death's cold finger chills their fevered life	H2
As in the wilds he stills the meanest worm	O3
And death flies with them over all their paths	P3
And waits them in the heart of wildest waste	Q3
	-
They cannot break his power Forgive these thoughts	R3
If as they rise like mists they dim the gold	S3
That zones thy brow They came to us at night	L2
As we have sat in council round the fire	M2
They seemed the echo of the sighing pines	T3
	-
Far in our soul One evening rose a chief	U3
White headed bowed with years one hand on staff	V3
One on death's arm preparing for the way	C2
My sons he said these people are not wise	W
We bide our time and they will pass away	C2
	-
Then shall the red man come like bird in spring	L
And build the broken camp and hunt and fish	W3
In his old woods These people pass away	C2
Then shall the red man come like bird in spring	L
And build the broken camp and hunt and fish	W3
	-
In his old woods These people pass away	C2
For I have thought through many nights and days	X3
And wondered what they seek and now I know	G2
And knowing say these people are not wise	W
They found these plains beneath the burning west	M3
	-
And westward ever westward still they press	Y3
Seeking the shining meadows of the land	Z3
Where the sun sleeps and folded 'neath his wings	A4
The happy spirits breathe eternal day	C2
But I have lived thro' five score changing years	O2
	-
And I have talked with wintry headed chiefs	B4
And I have heard that kingdom is not reached	C4
Thro' woods and plains but by the bridge of death	C3
This people is not wise we bide our time	D4
Great mother they have told us that the snows	E2
	-
Of fifty winters sleep about thy throne	J2
And buds of spring now blossom with sweet breath	C3
Beneath thy tread They tell us of the sea	E4
And other lands where other children dwell	F4
Of mighty cities and the gleam of gold	S3
	-
Of empires wider than the shining plains	B2
Viewed from giant hill that lift thy throne above	J
The clouded mountain tops They tell us too	Y2
Of wonders in the home of man of gods	G4
Of iron and fire made servants and of fire	M2
	-
Snatched from the clouds to flash man's swiftest thought	H4
But these are not for us The forest flower	M2
Droops in the haunts of man it needs the sky	U
And smokeless air and glances of the sun	U2
Thro' rustling leaves We perish with the woods	C
	-
The plains are all before thee Send thy sons	J3
To plant and build and drive their flashing gods	G4
Startling the forests till like ocean's bounds	I4
Thine empire rolls in splendour from wide east	J4
To widest west broad fields of gold for thee	E4
	-
And thy white children but our spirits wait	W2
Amid the silent ages and we pass	K4
To where our fathers dwell by silent streams	R2
And hunt in trackless wilds through cloudless days	X3
The wheels of thy great empire as it moves	L4
	-
From east to west from south to icy north	M4
Crush us to earth We perish with the woods	C
Great mother if the changing moons have brought	H4
Thee nearer to the darksome bridge that spans	N4
The gulf between this and the eternal day	C2
	-
If thy path and thy children's be the same	O4
And thy feet follow where thy fathers went	P4
Perchance thy soul upon earth's utmost verge	Y
The eternal sky about thee and the deeps	N4
Unfathomable bey	C2
