I can see the end approaching When my race and all my kinsmen Will have vanished from this nation. We were Hrst in these great prairies- First to fill them with our wigwams- First to call them home and country. It was we who knew the greatness Of the wide and fertile prairies, Of the endless, shady woodlands, And the wondrous rushing rivers. Here we reigned, supremely happy, Wild as all the Nature 'round us, And yet noble in our wildness. Then into our woods and prairies Came the palefface, came the white man, Bringing with him desolation, Bringing sadness and destruction. Then my race and all my people, We whose strength was all our armor, Fought the palefface, fought the whitefmang Battled for our rights and Freedom. But the white man with his wisdom- Wisdom that for many ages He has won from God and Natureg- Then forgot the aim and purpose, Quite forgot the noble motive That had brought him to this country. With light words and little feeling He then took from us our freedom. Drove us from our plains and woodlands- Drove us back into the desert. There our natures, always restless, Always striving forth to action, Seeking always to be moving, Wilted, withered, like the wild flower That is brought from out the forest And is kept in white man's cabins. There upon the sandy desert Lost we all our noble manhood- Lost the good that once was in us. And our numbers quietly vanish. So the pale-face and the white man- They who now dwell on the prairie- They who live where once our wigwams Served as homes for babes and women- They should own the debt they owe us- Own that they, the great white chieftains, Are indebted to my people For their place among the nations. They should cease their endless striving, Cease their tiresome toil one moment And reflect on what they've builded This their great and mighty nation! They have built it from the heart throbs, Built it on the hopes and wishes Of a race they've caused to vanish! -OLIVE FITE U01
