On sunny slope and beechen swell	A
The shadowed light of evening fell	A
And where the maple's leaf was brown	B
With soft and silent lapse came down	B
The glory that the wood receives	C
At sunset in its brazen leaves	C
	-
Far upward in the mellow light	D
Rose the blue hills One cloud of white	D
Around a far uplifted cone	E
In the warm blush of evening shone	E
An image of the silver lakes	F
By which the Indian's soul awakes	F
	-
But soon a funeral hymn was heard	G
Where the soft breath of evening stirred	G
The tall grey forest and a band	H
Of stern in heart and strong in hand	H
Came winding down beside the wave	I
To lay the red chief in his grave	I
	-
They sang that by his native bowers	F
He stood in the last moon of flowers	F
And thirty snows had not yet shed	J
Their glory on the warrior's head	J
But as the summer fruit decays	F
So died he in those naked days	F
	-
A dark cloak of the roebuck's skin	K
Covered the warrior and within	K
Its heavy folds the weapons made	L
For the hard toils of war were laid	L
The cuirass woven of plaited reeds	F
And the broad belt of shells and beads	F
	-
Before a dark haired virgin train	M
Chanted the death dirge of the slain	M
Behind the long procession came	N
Of hoary men and chiefs of fame	N
With heavy hearts and eyes of grief	O
Leading the war horse of their chief	O
	-
Stripped of his proud and martial dress	F
Uncurbed unreined and riderless	F
With darting eye and nostril spread	J
And heavy and impatient tread	J
He came and oft that eye so proud	P
Asked for his rider in the crowd	P
	-
They buried the dark chief they freed	Q
Beside the grave his battle steed	Q
And swift an arrow cleaved its way	R
To his stern heart One piercing neigh	O
Arose and on the dead man's plain	M
The rider grasps his steed again	S
