Rings through the sky.
Here do we wait thy step,
While soon, for thee,
Bursted the prison bars,
The warrior free!"
[16] This is an allusion to the battles of the gods of the Dacotas. The Thunder (believed to be a bird) is sometimes conquered and cast to the earth by the god of the woods or the god of the waters.
