Then pale and red men met upon thy shore-''Tis like a dream, Love, of the olden time, And made thy home in my all-happy heart.

With hearts as free as his who now doth bless thy tide. Or, to the far off West, pass, like the past, away. Now, in thy desolation, like the fate Now, in thy desolation, like the fate And made her happy home ''mid thy embracing flood."_ And made her happy home ''mid thy embracing flood."_
