Yonnondio, or Warriors of the Genesee: Tale of the Seventeenth Century (Classic Reprint)

Thou hast been, sire, my guardian and my guide, And therefore it is meet that unto theeT he few stray leaves should dedicated be Which I commit to Fortune schangeful tide :T hy voice aroused me from desponding mood, When pale with letter dtoil, as trumpet blast, Heard in the watch of midnight, sendeth blood. Through veins of startled warrior warm and fast. In Europe sworn-out world I have not sought Heroic theme, but in my native vale, Moved by the red mans legendary tale, Perchance from Nature saltar-flame have caught One kindling spark and, Father, if my strain Win word of praise from thee, I have not sung in vain.
