Where the Umpqua's waters Row,
Roamed the Indian all alone,
And the land was then bis own.
Down beside the shady stream.
Or beneath the pale moon beam.
Stalwart brave with earnest mien .
Kept his tryst and laved serene.
Ages passed, the pleasant land
Yielded fruit on every hand,
Streams were full ot fish for food.
Wild deer broke the solitude.
Then, the Umnqua tribe must grj

Traders, hunters, seeking gold ' '

Oft should ponder on this tale.
Waa It right to take this land
From the little Umpqua baud?
Though the answer yes or no
It seems the Indian tribe must go.

Leave these questions to the sago,
