162 THE LEAGUE OF THE 1ROQUOIS.<br />

And no brave that coward bleeds<br />

Shall <strong>the</strong> after-days recall ;<br />

All your mighty fame <strong>and</strong> deeds<br />

In <strong>the</strong> war-storm perished all !<br />

Till on every l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> shore<br />

Where your children joyous throng,<br />

Shall your names be heard no more<br />

In <strong>the</strong> dance <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> song.<br />

Bro<strong>the</strong>rs ! hearken what I say !<br />

Hayo-went-ha's words are good ;<br />

Union is our hope to-day<br />

All our hope in Bro<strong>the</strong>rhood !<br />

If by this my counsel led,<br />

Choose ye by to-morrow's sun ;<br />

Hayo-went-ha, he has said<br />

Hayo-went-ha, he is done.
