POWHATAN Behold a king no jewel in his crown, But feathered from his own imperial bird. Powhatan salutes ye Minnehaha s Lord, And Pocahontas father cheated of his child, Who pined and perished in a foreign land- Behold him standing where his fathers stood Ere yet the canting Christian crushed his heart Burnt down his wigwam, stole his child, And murdered Minnehaha in her bed. Truth hast thou told, for once, thou lying tongue: "Upon ten thousand plains, fair flowers bloomed, And o er them, like the billows of the sea, Dashed the wild herd of plunging buffalo." Those flowers, now drooping with papooses blood, And slain, like buffalo, their warlike sires; But chanting still their war songs as they died. They cursed your friendship, and your power defied. Well hast thou said, the waters laughed Ah, yes, my Minnehaha; f are-thee-well ! Thou Laughing Water; f are-thee-well ! O, my Minnehaha! ha! ha! ha!

Behold a king no jewel in his crown,
But feathered from his own imperial bird.
Powhatan salutes ye Minnehaha s Lord,
And Pocahontas father cheated of his child,
Who pined and perished in a foreign land-
Behold him standing where his fathers stood
Ere yet the canting Christian crushed his heart
Burnt down his wigwam, stole his child,
And murdered Minnehaha in her bed.
Truth hast thou told, for once, thou lying tongue:
"Upon ten thousand plains, fair flowers bloomed,
And o er them, like the billows of the sea,
Dashed the wild herd of plunging buffalo."
Those flowers, now drooping with papooses blood,
And slain, like buffalo, their warlike sires;
But chanting still their war songs as they died.
They cursed your friendship, and your power defied.
Well hast thou said, the waters laughed
Ah, yes, my Minnehaha; f are-thee-well !
Thou Laughing Water; f are-thee-well !
O, my Minnehaha! ha! ha! ha!
