 () .1 point on Mackiunw's fair isle 
 Tiiere tlings a tale of deadly guile: 
 Of valor and heroic trial : 
 A tragedy of Indian maid: 
 The i)art an Indian hero played: 
 The plot an Indian fiend laid. 
 
 Sheer was the steep, full ten score feet: 
 Its woody crown a (juict retreat 
 Where doves could coo and lovers meet. 
 And rough and craggy was the steep: 
 No clind)er coidd his footing licep: 
 And there the blast was wont to sweep 
 Too fierce for ivy vine to creep. 
 And at its base the wear of wave 
 Had eaten out a treacherous cave 
 To which full many legends clave. 
 On either side tiiis tower hoar 
 (Oldest in geologic lore) 
 Rose up more easily the siiore 
 With trees and brushwood covered o'er. 
 And through the clumj i of beech or oak 
 From wigwams slowly curled the smoke: 
 There dwelt the high-cheeked Indian folk. 
 And few the leaves the woods had lost : 
 And few the tints from nipping frost: 
 And few the flocks that yet had orost 
 The early Autunni's golden sky 
 With outstretched neck and plaintive cry. 
 The nuts were out, and 8(iuirrels shy 
 Were gathering their stores. 
 
 And high 
 The secret spot where two had met : 
 Where two had watched the red sun set, 
 That filled them with a strange regret. 
 
They watched the ling'ring day expire 
 And yon tliin cloud 'reft of its fire: 
 Tliey watched the twilight wane, 
 And with a sense of Htifled pain 
 Saw hill-D^opes sinking into gloom, 
 And night her silent swiiy resume. 
 And nature, with their feelings blent. 
 Awoke a dread presentiment. 
 
 He rose, and going to the verge 
 
 Where oft he'd viewed the foamy surge, 
 Fie thought he saw a skiflT emerge 
 And then shoot quickly back as if 
 To hide behind a petty cliff. 
 
 "And whose can be that stealthy skiff? 
 Can that be scout sent here to gauge 
 Our strength, ere with us they engage ? 
 And yet what spy would risk the rage 
 If he were caught — or on so small 
 An island hope that he could crawl 
 And yet evade the eye of all ? 
 
 No spy would show so mad a zest." 
 
 She saw his gaze, as if possessed 
 Of some suspicion, and prest 
 His hand in hers, and tried to find 
 What sudden cause disturbed his mind. 
 He said his fear was undefined; 
 'Twas but a shadow he had caught. 
 And in his troubled mood of thought 
 Fancied a man. 
 
 He soon forgot 
 The darting skiff: for now a plot 
 Was shaping in a glowing dream : 
 He strove to weave a subtle scheme 
 And snare the foe, and leave a theme 
 For Indian song. He burned to earn 
 A name in lore, and then return 
 And wed the maid. All ease he'd spurn. 
 And even love his heart was stern 
 To give a secondary place. 
 Till crushed the league that dared menace 
 His lustred and traditioned race.

 The tliought of her wouUl nniniato 
 His toils, and flame anew his liu'e 
 When low, and even despiiir elate. 
 And then Ijeyond the thril! of conquest 
 He picture'] years of well-won rest, 
 With tribal praise and honor blest. 
 And absently he stood while rapt 
 In vision— the enemy entrapped — 
 A life that shone in war, and capt 
 With conjugal delight— thus mapped 
 He out his life. 
 
 And then he peered 
 Where that strange skiff had disappeared, 
 And showed that while he dreamt he feared. 
 Thus on the rock they stood, endeared. 
 
 ^enplE II. 
 
 ^HE braves had heard the council-call; 
 The braves had gathered, plumed and tall. 
 And one by one did they extol 
 Their ancient heroes, until drunk 
 With pride. And yet the fiercest shrunk 
 From plans. Though bold of speech, yet sunk 
 Their spirits when they spoke of fray. 
 The chiefs, whose heads we.e touched with grey, 
 Who bore the scars of many a hard fought day, 
 Now felt an ill-concealed dismay. 
 They had a wisdom on their brows 
 And force of speech that quick could rouse 
 Reluctant warriors to espouse 
 A cause. But now resources failed 
 And now their wonted courage quailed. 
 There fell a silence deep and tense 
 That showed their minds were in suspense. 
 
 Then rose a tall and well-limbed youth 
 With look of sway and gesture couth. 
 And with the candid air of truth. 
 Though yet a youth, he kept a poise 
 Of mind unbiassed by the noise 
 Of raving factions: strong to plead : 
 Slow to risk, yet last to recede : 
 
The first to slioiildcr nil the toil 
 
 Of wiir, and lust to claim tho spoil : 
 
 A mind inured to bloody hroil : 
 
 A mind ho clear no rage could ninr: 
 
 So renolute no cause cotild har: 
 
 Yet more at home in peace than war. 
 
 He rose as with a weight of slate 
 
 Upcm him, but modest and sedate, 
 
 Beseeming one unraveling fate. 
 
 All showy triclis his speech disdained; 
 
 His was an argument maintained, 
 
 An easy fluency that chained 
 
 The ear, and e'en the vet'rans deigned 
 
 To weigh his words. 
 
 With suavest voice 
 He urged them to heroic clioice; 
 He warned them tliat the foe would whelm 
 A yielding tribe in their own realm: 
 And as lie scathed a vile repose, 
 And sketched with taunt their vassal woes, 
 Or showed how much a hero owes 
 .\ line of sires— they took their bows : 
 
 And scarce he ceased when rose tlie group : 
 
 When rang the echoing war-whoop: 
 
 When thrilled the cravens prone to droop: 
 
 Wiien mad with ire they burned to swoop 
 
 Upon their foes. 
 
 Around the tire 
 Tiiey danced. 
 
 Then did the youth retire. 
 
 His tread showed sense of empire; 
 
 His mien revealed a noble breed : 
 
 His voice had roused to daring deed. 
 
 But ah ! few knew how deep did bleed 
 
 His heart when urging on to strife. 
 
 It woke a sorrow deep as life. 
 
 Save here and there a gentle quiver 
 
 Of voice — like ripple on a river 
 
 That bosoms deep a barrier rock — 
 
 His eloquence betrayed no shock. 
 
 Nor showed that he was inly torn. 
 
lie ur^ed llie tribe to move next morn! 
 Tlic morrow was his wedding day. 
 
 Witii agony lie went uway.

 Tlie (jiiiet and seiiue.^tered wpot 
 Wiiere waited one wliosc elieeit waH liot 
 But not with tearH. Too <leep hIic felt 
 An iron fate no prayer could melt. 
 Klie waited lone and lonR, nor knelt 
 Before the Spirit to quiet her grief: 
 Slie felt a dread beyond relief. 
 
 Still was the hour, nor stirred a leaf; 
 
 It was the peace of ManitoiJ. 
 
 The moon was out and full, and tiirew 
 
 Her silv'ry spell o'er all the view. 
 
 I.ir off, the dimly loonung hill ; 
 
 Behind, the forest dark and still 
 
 Save for the murmur of a rill : 
 
 Balow, the lake, a second sky 
 
 In its quiet depth: and the shrill cry 
 
 Of hawk that winged and whirred near by. 
 
 The sylvan bower was on a bluft' 
 Whose edge dropt sheer down — enough 
 To turn the head — two hundred feet 
 Where fretted cliff and water meet. 
 And there— her hand in his— they viewed 
 The enchanting scene : the solitude 
 With sense of gloom so weird imbued: 
 The lofty pines in dreamy mood. 
 I know not why their spirits fell, 
 Wiiy that unrest they could not quell, 
 As if they heard a muflled knell — 
 As if '.hey felt it was farewell! 
 
 geE]^E III. 
 
 SPY had landed on the isle 
 Unnoted by but one; and with guile 
 i Had crept behind a rugged pile 
 Of rocks, and from this safe retreat 
 Had heard the call for braves to meet 
 Around the blaze : iiad seen them greet 
 
With oniinniiH IooIch, as iruppri/.cd 
 
 Of ill. Their fcnr wi»n thin ilisxuiMed, 
 
 Their hiiniihood whh imrnlyzed. 
 
 He wiitcheil the Kroup around the tiro. 
 
 He saw their fuiling hopes expire, 
 
 He siiw them shirk the problem dire. 
 
 And then he miw a liero ri8e, 
 
 And with nn honest tone thiit tries 
 
 No showy art of speech, surprise 
 
 The Kroup. With mind of ^rasp and scope 
 
 He viewed he field and woke new hope. 
 
 He rallied all their force to co|)e 
 
 With the exigency. He would not swerve, 
 
 Though danger loom, when called to serve: 
 
 The threat of foe hut whet his nerve; 
 
 He spoke and moulded minds. 
 
 The tiend 
 From hroken tones tlieir project gleaned. 
 Exulting that he found where leaned 
 The tribal confidence: and screened 
 By hush and mound he tracked his victim. 
 Anon he lost him 'long the dim 
 And tortuous path : anon with grim 
 And savage glee got glimpse of him : 
 And with rare eye and coolness gifted. 
 Had oft his bow at pauses lifted 
 For aim, when his victim shifted. 
 No matter: he could bide his time. 
 And accomplish the splendid crime. 
 To highest office he would climb 
 In his own tribe, if he but thwart 
 The foes' designs with crafty art. 
 
 Now see him pause, or stoop, or dart 
 From tree to tree, from knoll to knoll, 
 Watching his victim's devious stroll. 
 Had no boughs creaked to show he stole 
 With feline tread ? Had no loose stone 
 Rolled down the bank? Had no bird flown 
 In fright from tufted nest? Nor cone 
 Been trod on ? Had no branch whipt the air ? 
 He prowled with more than wonted care.

 Tilt' hero ruiuhed the sylvan npot, 
 And Nile looked up and (piiekly eiiught 
 The care with which liin brow wim fraught, 
 And yet the cause she dared not awk 
 He pliinied him on his power to feign 
 An air an I tone of .iiHe, and niMHk 
 With Hecniing serenity a tac'c 
 That worried his hurdened lirain. 
 No moan gave voice to mastered pain: 
 Under his calm, deep -are did lurk; 
 No ease couhl lure him on to shirk 
 A peril or unrecpiited work. 
 Firmest when others' courage shook: 
 The taunt of pride he would not brook. 
 But all ! how meet that searching look 
 How feign a mind at ease ! How chase 
 Away the care that left its trace 
 On every feature of his face 
 And took the spring from out his pace ! 
 He knew that it was vain to hide 
 From her who was to be his bride — 
 Another morrow they must bide. 
 They bowed their heads yet neither sighed. 
 Somehow a vague prophetic pain 
 Was haunting them, that not again 
 Would they commune when evenings wane. 
 Deep in their fear there lay a stain— 
 .V stain of blood. 
 
 Their heads were bowed. 
 Though ne'er before his mind had cowed, 
 He felt a glooming fate enshroud. 
 
It 
 
 was an ap;onizin> 
 
 liour: 
 
 Tlicy fell iho burnint,' passion-power: 
 They Mt a dark'nini,' future lower. 
 Out on the edge lie went and stood, 
 And ealiner grew liis fortitude. 
 He felt the ipiiet solitude: 
 He saw the grassy l):ink bedeweil ; 
 The faintly spangled lake surene: 
 Along the shore the pe')hles clean 
 An 1 white in water crystalline : 
 The shadow's siiape; the misty sheen 
 Tiiat lay on all : the deep forest: — 
 Willi languid lull was all ojiprest. 
 The niooii was ereejiing toward the west, 
 And full and cold it shone till dimmed. 
 Then hill heliind a eloud il riiiinied 
 With silver frost. 
 
 "The moon has past 
 I'ehind the (doud, and in me cast 
 A shadow and a sense of gloom ; 
 Perhaps the strife shall prove my tomb: 
 Hut why should melaneholy steal 
 My peaee — " 
 
 An arrow made him reel. 
 Unerring was the liend's art, 
 The arrow Hew and pierced the heart,

 But fell: and then with one wild shriek 
 
 And

 .She (lung her from the fated peak. 
 And while the startled echoes rung 
 Among the rocks, the seout still clung 
 
 To the cov. rt: then wary crept 
 Out on the edge, with stains of red 
 Vet warm: but not a sound exceiit 
 The scream of hawk : 'twas sure they slept! 
 And thus their plighted spirits (led. 
 And thus their bitter fates were wed. 
 
 And this their darkly tragedy unsung!
