From the Globe	A
	-
	-
October's leaf was sere	B
The day was dark and drear	B
Wild war was loosed in rage o'er our quiet country then	C
When at Moravian town	D
Where the little Thames flows down	D
In the net of battle caught was Proctor and his men	C
	-
Caught in an evil plight	E
When he'd rather march than fight	E
Every bit of British pluck and resolution gone	F
And sternly standing near	B
As a British brigadier	B
Stood Tecumthe our ally the forests' bravest son	G
	-
A prince a leader born	H
His dark eye flashed with scorn	H
He said My father listen there's rumours from afar	B
Of mishaps and mistakes	I
Of disasters on the lakes	I
My father need not hide the mischances of the war	B
	-
My braves have set their feet	J
Where two great rivers meet	J
We went upon the war path we raised the battle song	K
We met in deadly fight	E
The Yengees in their might	E
Till the waters of the Wabash dyed crimson flowed along	K
	-
They ask us in their pride	L
To idly stand aside	L
To be false to our allies and neutral in this war	B
They think that Indian men	C
Will never think again	C
Of wrongs by Yengee spoilers how false their treaties are	B
	-
Allies both firm and true	B
For our Father's sake to you	B
Our Great Father round whose throne the mighty waters meet	J
When din of battle's high	M
Only coward curs will fly	M
It is not Shawnee braves show foes their flying feet	J
	-
This is insolence to me	N
Said Proctor bitterly	N
But a paltry leader said the brave red skinned ally	M
We stand in hopeless fray	B
To meet defeat today	B
A shadow falls around me my fate is drawing nigh	M
	-
High hearted Indian chief	O
No thought of fear or grief	O
Stilled the swellings of his heart tamed the lightning of his glance	P
Without lordship without land	Q
Lord alone of his right hand	Q
Of a heart that never beat retreat when duty said advance	P
	-
He had looked on battle oft	R
Now his eagle glance grew soft	S
And who can tell what sights his prophetic vision saw	T
Events were drawing near	B
And he was a mighty seer	B
Even greater than the prophet the grim Elskwatawa	U
	-
For in a waking dream	V
He saw forest vale and stream	V
Which by force or fraud the white race wrung from doomed red men	C
Old things are passed he said	W
No blood that can be shed	W
Will ever give us back our broad hunting grounds again	C
	-
Over the burial mound	X
Over the hunting ground	X
Over the forest wigwam the greedy white wave flows	Y
In treachery or wrath	Z
They sweep us from their path	Z
Backward and ever backward beyond Sierra snows	Y
	-
We tried to stem the wave	A2
We have been bold and brave	A2
We held the losing cause the Great Spirit hid his face	B2
Our nation's place is gone	F
The white wave will roll on	C2
Until from sea to sea we have no abiding place	B2
	-
Although we do not stand	Q
To do battle for our land	Q
The allies that we fight for though white men do not lie	M
Their foes are ours stand fast	D2
This fight shall be my last	D2
'Tis fitting on the war path the Shawnee chief should die	M
	-
Where we have pitched our camp	E2
Red blood shall dye the swamp	F2
The battle to the swift the victory to the strong	K
But be it as it will	G2
My braves shall vanish still	G2
Slain by pale face customs snared by their treacherous tongue	H2
	-
He turned where in their pride	L
Stood his warriors by his side	L
For them to morrow's sun might shine to morrow's breezes blow	I2
But Tecumthe's lot is cast	D2
This fight shall be his last	D2
And they will do my wish he said when I am lying low	I2
	-
Wyandot's chieftain grave	A2
Young and lithe hold and brave	A2
Stood by Tecumthe waiting the beginning of the fray	B
Tecumthe silence broke	J2
And thus to him he spoke	J2
My brother from this onset I'll never come away	B
	-
This scarf of crimson grand	Q
By brave Sir Isaac's hand	Q
Was bound round me with praise when his heart towards	K2
me was stirred	L2
I belt it around you	B
My brother brave and true	B
Think about Tecumthe and remember his last word	L2
	-
When on the red war path	Z
War fiercely to the death	M2
Be pitiful and tender to the helpless and the fair	B
I fought have many slain	N2
But not a single stain	N2
Of blood of maids or children dims the good sword I wear	B
	-
Brother a forest maid	O2
Within my wigwam stayed	O2
She is called before me far beyond the glowing west	P2
This battle lost or won	G
You'll take my little son	G
Train him a Shawnee brave let him be in deer skin drest	P2
	-
When grown a warrior strong	K
To feel his nation's wrong	K
When he is fierce in battle and wise in council fire	B
Worthy my sword to wear	B
Then with a father's care	B
Let thy hand belt upon him the good sword of his sire	B
	-
Tell him I lived and fought	P2
For my nation and had not	P2
A thought but for their good on resentment for their wrong	K
Nor ever wished to have	Q2
Any gift the pale face gave	A2
Nor learned a single word of the fatal pale face tongue	H2
	-
'Tell him he is the last	P2
Of a race great in the past	P2
Before the foot of white men had stepped upon our strand	P2
And if fate will not give	R2
Any place where they may live	S2
Let him die among his people and for his people's land	P2
	-
'I strip this coat off here	B
Of a British Brigadier	B
It is a costly garment with gold lace grand and brave	A2
The Shawnee chief is best	P2
In shirt of deerskin drest	P2
Not in pale face gift they'll find me who lay me in the grave	A2
	-
I have lost all but life	T2
To meet in mortal strife	T2
To kill many that the white squaws weep as ours have done	G
To lie among the dead	P2
With garments bloody red	P2
And go to happy hunting grounds beyond the setting sun	G
	-
'This will be Wyandot brave	A2
You'll give to me a grave	A2
In dimness of the forest in earth my mother's breast	P2
Each tall tree a sentinel	U2
Will guard the secret well	V2
Of where you laid Tecumthe down to his lasting rest'	P2
	-
After the fatal fight	P2
The strife became a flight	P2
They found the chief Tecumthe lying still among the slain	N2
Never to fight again	C
Ah little recked he then	C
That dastard white men outraged his body to their shame	W2
	-
After the headlong flight	P2
In the dark dead of night	P2
They came from further outrage his loved remains to save	A2
Within the forest deep	X2
They laid him down to sleep	X2
And the forest guards the secret no man knows his grave	A2
	-
Our land our pride and boast	P2
Spreads now from coast to coast	P2
Stands up a great Dominion among the ruling powers	Y2
For us this chieftain fought	P2
An ally unbribed unbought	P2
We guard his name and fame in this Canada of ours	Y2
	-
We have grown strong and bold	P2
Able to have and hold	P2
Our allies the red men are cared for with our care	B
East or in the wild Nor west	P2
In peace they hunt or rest	P2
No man their lands may covet because they're broad and fair	B
