I had seen the face, and marked it well,

That peered from the rock when Bergen fell;

And I watched for that at every yell.

No hound on scent more rapt could be,

As I scanned the fight from behind the tree;

And five I slew, but neither was he.

A neighbor’s son, young Andrew Lane,

And stoop to scalp the fallen slain.

’Twas he! my brain to throb began,
