Full on red Waban’s face, the mounting blaze.

Though half a bow-shot from the cavern he

Stands at the fire, yet its bright sheen displays

His hue and shape, and then could Williams see

How well the hunter judged thus far to raise

The burning pyre; no passage could there be

For hostile foot, save by that glittering flame,

Which well would light the arrow’s certain aim.
