The cheerful sounds were heard
Of running strenm and niurmuriug breoz
And song of forest hird t
All uuture fur onoo more was gay,
Tho bright sun shed hi. cheering ray,
And death's durk solitude away
I'rom the new earth was driven
Thus shall appunr, wlieu lime is o'er,
And hushed is the last tempest', rour,
A brighter earth and heaven."

And vowed to come and hear again
The wild tales uf tlie luoiintuili gleu i

A wild and savage race,

Was in the tierce and furious light,
Or the wild uiuuuluin chase.
