Where'er I dwell—where'er I go;

Fishing and hunting only give

The pinching means to let me live;

And if, at night, I lay me down,

In dreams and sleep my rest to crown,

Ere day awakes its slumbering eyes,

I start to hear the foe's mad cries,

Louder and louder, as I clutch

My club, or lance, or bow and dart,

And, springing with a panther's touch,
