Thou of the earth unstain’d,
Oh! to the banner and the shrine be true!
THE INDIAN’S REVENGE.
SCENE IN THE LIFE OF A MORAVIAN MISSIONARY.
[Circumstances similar to those on which this scene is founded are recorded in Carne’s Narrative of the Moravian Missions in Greenland, and gave rise to the dramatic sketch.]
“But by my wrongs and by my wrath,
To-morrow Areouski’s breath
That fires yon heaven with storms of death,
Shall light me to the foe!”
Indian Song in “Gertrude of Wyoming.”
