To good Queen Ocean[340] far away—

Deep sheltered from the hostile world

The smoke from many a tent up-curled,

Where, round the wigwam fire, red dames

Talked o’er their tawny lords’ brave names,

While they, with feathered death and bow

And trackless step, now quick, now slow,

Gave chase, in neighboring hills,[341] the game,

There pasturing heedless, till death came

In one fell dart. Life surely here—
