Excerpt from The Chieftain and Satires Far in the wilds of the mountains, and over the prairies, Down where the billows are rolling with ceaseless com motion, Ever from times unremembered, like far away echoes Wakened from caverns of night, come notes of a legend. Gently the rivulet murmurs the chant of the hunter, Softly the blossoms are lisping the song of the maiden; Madly the torrent is sounding the Wrath of the battle, Fiercely the ocean is beating the dance of the victor. Listen to them, and to tales of the whispering forest, Then you will always have with you the life of the Chieftain.
