The league of the Iroquois and other legends : from the Indian muse

152 THE LEAGUE OF THE IBOQVOIS.
And silence with the brooding night
Falls like a mantle over all,
Save where along the rocky height
Is heard the Ko-ko-ko-ho's call ;
The soaring Wa-wa's honking clang,
Or mournful on the farther sea
The crying of the lonely Mahng,
Or waves' low-lapsing minstrelsy.
