歌曲歌詞
You say they all have passed away
That noble race and brave
That their light canoes have vanished
Off the crested wave
That 'mid the forests where they roamed
There rings no hunter's shout;
But their name is on your waters
You may not wash it out
'Tis where Ontario's billow
Like Ocean's surge is curled;
Where strong Niagara's thunders wake
The echo of the world;
Where red Missouri bringeth
Rich tributes from the west
And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps
On green Virginia's breast
You say their cone-like cabins
That clustered o'er the vale
Have fled away like withered leaves
Before the autumn gale:
But their memory lives on in your hills
Their baptism on your shore;
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect of yore
Old Massachusetts wears it
Within her lordly crown
And broad Ohio bears it
'Mid all her young renown;
Connecticut hath wreathed it
Where her quiet foliage waves
And bold Kentucky breathed it hoarse
Through all her ancient caves
Wachuset hides it's lingering voice
Within his rocky heart
And Alleghany graves it's tone
Throughout his lofty chart;
Monadnock on his forehead hoar
Doth seal the sacred trust;
Your mountains build their monument
Though you destroy their dust
