LIVING WITH MY NATIVE FRIENDS I
FOUND I WAS A STRANGER IN MY
NATIVE LAND AS TIME WENT ON THE
OUTWARD ASPECT OF NATURE REMAINED
THE SAME BUT A CHANGE WAS BROUGHT
IN ME I LEARNED TO HEAR THE ECHOES
OF A TIME WHEN EVERY LIVING THING
EVEN THE SKY HAD A VOICE THAT
VOICE DEVOUTLY HEARD BY THE ANCIENT
PEOPLE OF AMERICA I DESIRED TO
MAKE AUDIBLE TO OTHERS
