by Unknown

To invade Thy dawning state....

Lord, our God! to whom, from clay,

Blood and mire, Thy peoples pray—

Not from Thy cathedral’s stair

Thou hearest:—Thou criest through our prayer

For our prayer is but the gate:

We, who pray, ourselves are fate.

War

By the Great Indian, Chief Joseph
