Knew not the fear of man; yet in those woods ...

There lived a soul more wild than barbarous;

A tameless soul—the sunburnt savage free—

Free, and untainted by the greed of gain:

Great Nature's man content with Nature's food.


THE VOICE OF THE PINES

WE fear not the thunder, we fear not the rain,

For our stems are stout and long;

Or the growling winds, though they blow amain,
