202 THE LEA UE OF THE JBOQUOIS.
Brothers !
when you come and go
On the war-path far and fleet,
When you bear the hunter-bow
On the hills with flying feet ;
Where you roam or where you dwell,
Let your mighty deeds confess,
As I still were with you
ONGUE HO^WE'S nobleness.
tell
Far, by rivers flowing free,
Where the great hills stretch amain,
Near, beside the murmuring sea,
Over all the vale and plain,
Glad and joyous everywhere
Shall your wigwams brightly throng ;
And the twilight falling fair
Light the dance and wake the song.
So shall all your after-fame
Find no less a shining place ;
Bearing many a noble name
Worthy of our noble race ;
And your deeds to latest days
Farthest wigwam-homes beside,
Shall your children's children praise,
Call your names with love and pride.
