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

214 THE LEAGUE OF THE IROQUOIS.
Still far the sunset's fiery glow
Trails reddening o'er the crystal wells ;
The cloven waves like rubies show
A warmer wish the bark impels ;
Still on, and on ;
now
high in air ;
Still up, and on more darkly dim ;
Still up, away ;
now seeming fair
On pearly clouds to dance and swim.
More faint and far
more fleet and free,
To where the shadows come and go ;
Beyond the land
beyond the sea
Beyond the daylight's fading glow ;
To Oway-neo's Home
; away
Beyond where sunset-glory smiles ;
Beyond the gateways of the Day,
To Inigorio's Happy Isles.
