Excerpt from Osbulbaha and Other Poems

Three hundred years ago and fifty more Along this lake's fair brow one morn of May Nature her freshest, brightest aspect wore; The birds were singing, each a sweeter lay; Each tree and vine had something blithe to say, The bays were in the fullest of full bloom And Opening ﬂower with open strove for room.

The sky was bluer, purer the mild air Than they have been since we who hold the land By right of cunning and complexions fair Drew feverish breath herein and think it grand To hew and burn and let no beauty stand; The lake slept with the sky deep in its breast Like maid with vision of her lover blest.

When by this lake beneath the bays in bloom, An Indian princess, beautiful as night.
