Text Appearing Before Image: 10 Such was the mellow season From mountain range to the sea, When Arrow-Head, Elk and Eagle-Eye satUnder the Biff Elm Tree. it> Sad and sullen they sat, Dreamers at noon of day—They looked intently at the earth, But neither a word did say. From noon till night they sat Under the Big Elm Tree,Then Arrow-Head, chief of the Delawares, Stood up, and thus spake he: Brothers, this day weve passed In sorrow for the dead;Blood for blood was the olden law That turned our fathers red. Swift as the fallow deerI vow to speed away,Nor heed the elk nor the buffalo,Till I the pale-face slay. He knit his brow in wrath— He scowled on earth and sky,And the hot revenge that warmed his blood Shot fire from his eye. ii Text Appearing After Image: 12 And all was still again Beneath the Big Elm Tree,Only its whispering leaves were heard, Telling of tragedy. Then Elk, an Indian brave, Grim as the twilight oak,Arose, silently as the moon, And these words fiercely spoke: Black is the evil bird— Black are the wings of night—For the pale-face man, whose heart is black, My arrows are feathered white. Over the dreary moor, And over the steep hillside—Over the prairies and through the wood, And over the rivers wide— Early and late and long— Through rain and drifting snow— Where the trail leads over the mountain top,In quest of blood Ill go. Silence followed his speech. But for the panthers screamIn the far-off depths of the forest, Silence reigned supreme. 13 Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. |
