A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Primitive Cuyahoga Valley There are very many vallies. vallies of renown. But the Cuyahoga valley was fairer than these. And greener its grasses and taller its trees Ere the sound of the ax in the forest had rung, Or the mower his scythe in the meadows had swung. In their sheltered repose looking out from the wood, The bark-builded wigwams of the Ottawas stood: There glided the corn dance, the council-fire shone. And against the red war-post the hatchet was thrown. There the old smoked in silence their pipe, and the young To the pike and the white perch their baited lines flung! There the boy shaped his arrows, and there the shy maid Wove her many-hued baskets and bright wampum braid. Ostream of Hopocan! if answer of thine Could raise from thy waters to question of mine, Methinks through the din of thy thronged banks a moan Of sorrow would swell for the days that are gone. Not for thee, dull jar of the loom and the wheel. The gliding of shuttles, the ringing of steel: But that old voice of water, of bird and of breeze. The dip of the wild fowl, the rustling of trees. Whittier.
