Text Appearing Before Image:
18

Onward they held their way,
Through many a day and night,
Until the mountains had risen to view
And then were lost to sight.

And when the vernal sun
With snow-storms played bo-peep,
And the honk of the wild goose wakened
The bear from its winter sleep—

When on south-sloping hillsides
Buttercups bloomed unseen,
And willows on the marsh-lands
Were turning the faintest green,

Before the red avengers
The Susquehanna flowed,
And in its peaceful valley
A dozen houses stood.
One from all the rest
Nestled among the trees,
Whose bare arms welcomed the coming
Of birds and the summer breeze.

Within it a maiden stood,

Fairer than lilies are fair,
And she was leisurely combing
Her tresses of raven hair.

She was the beautiful Inez—
A maiden of noble birth;
No fairer form than hers was there
In all the zones of earth.

One year before she came
From silvery Guadalquivir,
Never to strike the sweet guitar
Again upon that river.

Don Rodriga, her brother,
A hunter devoid of fear,
Was far away in the mountains,
Trailing the bear and the deer.

Stealthily as the hungry wolf
Steals on the fawn at play,
Eagle-Eye scaled the picket walls
And bore her, captive, away.

Into the silent forest,
Where wingless shadows lie,
Where solitude trails her somber skirts
And owls at mid-day fly—

Into the sullen forest
They led the helpless one,
Nor left the trail of moccasin,
Nor heard the fire of gun.
