Nightly down the river going, Swifter was the hunter's rowing, When he saw that lodge-fire, glowingO'er the waters still and red;And the squaw's dark eye burned brighter, And she drew her blanket tighter, As, with quicker step and lighter, From that door she fled.
For that chief had magic skill, And a Panisee's dark will, Over powers of good and ill, Powers which bless and powers which ban;Wizard lord of Pennacook, Chiefs upon their war-path shook, When they met the steady lookOf that wise dark... man.
Tales of him the gray squaw told, When the winter night-wind coldPierced her blanket's thickest fold, And her fire burned low and small, Till the very child abed, Drew its bear-skin over bead, Shrinking from the pale lights shedOn the trembling wall.
All the subtle spirits hidingUnder earth or wave, abidingIn the caverned rock, or ridingMisty clouds or morning breeze;Every dark intelligence, Secret soul, and influenceOf all things which outward senseFeels, or bears, or sees, -- These the wizard's skill confessed, At his bidding banned or blessed, Stormful woke or lulled to restWind and cloud, and fire and flood;Burned for him the drifted snow, Bade through ice fresh lilies blow, And the leaves of summer growOver winter's wood!
