THE MORGAN HORSE. 81 LAST MESSAGE OF ETHAN ALLEN. I stand and gaze to the eastward,Oer prairies rolling and low ;Seeking in vain for the mountainsAnd the friends of long ago. And I long for the evergreen forests, For the sound of the brooklets rill;And a draught of the sparkling water From the spring at the foot of the hill. Time is fleeting, years are passing, Tears are dropping; Im alone;Quite forgotten, thinking, longing. For my loved Green Mountain home, When my form was lithe and youthful. Like the Indians supple bow;When my flight was like the eagles, Or the lightnings vivid glow. Days of triumph, days of victory, Dexter beaten, spite the taunt: lie is nothing but a Morgan Who is fighting for Vermont. I can hear the joyous shouting, I can see the flowers they bringTo deck their own, loved Ethan Allen, Crowned that day The Morgan King. Tell me, have they quite forgotten All the deeds that I have done ?Do they think of Ethan Allen At the setting of the sun ? CHAPTER VIII. RYSDYKES
