They stood 'round the bier of the innocent dead. Oh ! who can imagine what sufferings they bore In tramping those mountain wilds o'er and o'er; When, famished and weary, exhausted, they fell At the side of the tree in that dark, wooded dell. Methinks I can see them trip lightly away. Unknown to their mother, that cool April day; They enter the woodland of underbrush clear, While, barking, the dog in the distance they hear. They see far beyond them their father haste on With powder horn, shot-ba...g and trusty old gun; AND OTHER POEMS 267 They quicken their pace, but he soon disappears In thick undergrowth. This arouses their fears. For a time they run after him, but all vain They call him. He hears not. They call him again. O'ertaken by fear in the dense wooded gloom They halt, and decide to return to their home. To retrace their footsteps now back to their home They start, but soon find they are lost in the gloom. I hear them both crying, and calling again, Still calling for father, but calling in vain.
