Seen <strong>from</strong> afar <strong>the</strong> rude barbaric years<br />

Are dark with blood <strong>and</strong> rapine, wrong <strong>and</strong> crime,<br />

Wherein alone <strong>the</strong> Savage Man apjiears ;<br />

Yet near beheld, <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> remotest time<br />

And Beauty's smile a grace to Woman lent ;<br />

Throbbed human hearts with human passions warm,<br />

Though sheltered by <strong>the</strong> u-igwam's barky tent.
