When hill and dale long years ago	A
Lay clad in nature's dress	B
And flourish'd the primeval pomp	C
Of nature's wilderness	D
	-
A huntsman and his hound would roam	E
Where fed the timid deer	F
And where the partridge's drum or whirr	F
Brought music to his ear	F
	-
In sooth he heard all forest sounds	G
With real sportsman's joy	H
And here he always pleasure found	I
With little of alloy	H
	-
The pigeon's coo the squirrel's chirp	J
The wild bird's thrilling lay	K
Brought freshen'd pleasure to his heart	L
At ev'ry op'ning day	K
	-
But music sweeter far than aught	K
In wood or vale around	K
Was the loud crackling of the deer	F
Or baying of his hound	K
	-
Full many a deer his steady aim	M
With faithful rifle slew	N
But faithful as his rifle was	O
His hound was faithful too	N
	-
With loud sonorous bay he ran	P
Through swamp or darken'd brake	Q
Till from the bush the deer would bound	K
Far out into the lake	Q
	-
And then with ready boat at hand	K
The hunter got his game	M
For to its struggling frightened mark	R
The well aim'd bullet came	M
	-
And thus they liv'd from day to day	K
This hunter and his hound	K
With nature's simple joys content	K
He felt not life's dull round	K
	-
A hunter's life he dearly lov'd	K
And still from day to day	K
No other sound he lov'd to hear	F
Like his own deer hound's bay	K
	-
But soon that voice must sound no more	F
The faithful dog must die	K
The man must hunt the deer without	K
That well known guiding cry	K
	-
The hound had chas'd a noble buck	S
Right down into the lake	Q
But roll'd the waves so high and strong	T
The noble beast did quake	Q
	-
With fear for now he saw 'twas death	U
To leave the solid shore	F
A lesser danger there he saw	V
So back he came once more	F
	-
He came with fierce determin'd bounds	G
Impell'd by wild despair	F
With lower'd head he reach'd the dog	W
Who bravely met him there	F
	-
But short the fight the antlers gor'd	K
The dog's brave heart so true	N
To him who stood upon the shore	F
As spell bound by the view	N
	-
The dog's death yell rang o'er the lake	Q
For him and for his foe	A
As whizzing came the well aim'd ball	X
That laid the slayer low	A
	-
The bullet came but yet too late	K
To save the gallant hound	K
And long the hunter mourn'd his loss	Y
And miss'd his voice's sound	K
