And so the seasons kept their round;

Yet still old Morgan went and came

From cabin door to forest dim,

Through wold of snows, through wood of flame,

Through golden Indian-summer days,

Hung round in soft September haze,

And no man cross'd or question'd him.

Nay, there was that in his stern air

That held e'en these rude men aloof:

None came to share the broad-built roof
