As the maid moved swiftly towards them, One tall red-skin drew his bow He ne'er saw the winsome creature And before the crowd could know He had drawn his tawny muscles Let the arrow cut the air, And it struck the Indian maiden On her sun-kissed forehead fair. As they help her through the forest And the tribe walled lu despair It was found that where her blood dropped Grew a shining berry, there. As the day sank in its splendor "Laughing Eyes' " soul passed away, But the berries fill the woodland Kven to tills very day.
