or Struggles of the Boers 169 Upon thy banks how oft the dream Of freedom filled the burgher's breast, And gave to toil a greater zest, And ended day with calmer rest !
But, ah ! those dreams were idle tales,^ For, soon their hopes were turned to wails Of women on the mountain moor.
All homeless, friendless, hungry, poor, While British robbers of their nest Deny, e'en now, the wanderers rest.
The homes they made beyond the Vaal Are threatened now with British thrall.
But ere those homes such th...ralldom reach.
The art of war will patriots teach.
And ere the goal shall sate their eye, Will many a Briton learn to die.
V The sun had set and all was still.
And quiet flowed each listening rill ; The Britons took their evening meal, And jested light of foeman's steel.
As, round the camp-fire's ruddy blaze.
They talked, or sang their warrior lays.
Within the Chieftain's- tent were set The officers in council met.
^Dreams were idle tales: Natal was taken from the Boers by the English about the year 1840.
