Written for Lorado Taft's Statue of Black Hawk at Oregon IllinoisA
-
To be given in the manner of the Indian Oration and the Indian War CryB
-
-
Hawk of the RocksC
Yours is our cause to dayD
Watching your foesE
Here in our war arrayD
Young men we standF
Wolves of the West at bayD
Power power for warG
Comes from these trees divineH
Power from the boughsI
Boughs where the dew beads shineH
Power from the conesJ
Yea from the breath of the pineH
-
Power to restoreG
All that the white hand marsK
See the dead eastL
Crushed with the iron carsK
Chimneys blackM
Blinding the sun and starsK
-
Hawk of the pinesN
Hawk of the plain winds fleetO
You shall be kingP
There in the iron streetO
Factory and forgeQ
Trodden beneath your feetO
-
There will proud treesR
Grow as they grow by streamsS
There will proud thoughtsT
Walk as in warrior dreamsS
There will proud deedsU
Bloom as when battle gleamsS
-
Warriors of ArtV
We will hold council thereW
Hewing in stoneX
Things to the trapper fairW
Painting the grayD
Veils that the spring moons wearW
This our revengeY
This one tremendous changeZ
Making new townsA2
Lit with a star fire strangeZ
Wild as the dawnB2
Gilding the bison rangeZ
-
All the young menC2
Chanting your cause that dayD
Red men new madeD2
Out of the Saxon clayD
Strong and redeemedE2
Bold in your war arrayD
