I will go to him, I promised, I will go and bring his message That we may look into the future See beyond that veiled tomorrow. So I started on my journey On that strange and curious pathway Where no white man's foot had trodden, Down the steep and dangerous hillside. Bright before me gleamed the water, Gleamed the sparkling, silvery water, Gleamed the Allegheny River. , And my heart beat fast within me Beat with fear and strange torboding Beat with tevered curiosity As I neared the darkened wigwam, Painted with those strange devices. In the dqorway stood the Prophet, Sage of all the red man's wisdom, Stood the Indian. Wakometla. Ah, those eyes of piercing darkness, Motionless they gazed upon me, Till my knees gave way to trembling, Till my eyes drooped down in terror. Then with accents deep and mournful Rose his voice in English speaking, Why come here to haunt my Wigwam? Strangers never venture near me. Then my heart grew bolder, braver, And I told thc seer my errand. Kindlier grew his stern expression As he stirred his dying campilre. Then he bade me sit beside him While he looked into the future, Wliile he told me of my classmates. Then in tones so deep yet quiet Told me what his giftedkvision Saw in years beyond tomorrow. Quickly then I took my pencil, Took my shorthand pad and pencil, Wrote all his prophetic sayings That I here might quote them to you, Page Twemy-Nine
