The names of Waitie and Boudinot -
The valiant warrior and gifted sage ---
And other Cherokees, may be forgot,
...
How savage, fierce and grim!
His bones are bleached and white.
...
IN the dreamy silence
Of the afternoon, a
Cloth of gold is woven
Over wood and prairie;
...
AS evening splendors fade
From yonder sky afar,
The Night pins on her dark
Robe with a large bright star,
...
FAR, far, far are my silver waters drawn;
The hills embrace me, loth to let me go;
The maidens think me fair to look upon,
...
I SEE the millet combing gold
From summer sun,
In hussar caps, all day;
&nbs; And brown quails run
...
