“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)

Familiar to the stranger’s child;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
