Indian Names - Natalie Merchant[00:00:00]

You say they all have passed away [00:01:11]

That noble race and brave [00:01:14]

That their light canoes have vanished[00:01:25]

Off the crested wave[00:01:29]

That 'mid the forests where they roamed[00:01:35]

There rings no hunter's shout;[00:01:39]

But their name is on your waters [00:01:44]

You may not wash it out [00:01:47]

'Tis where Ontario's billow[00:01:56]

Like Ocean's surge is curled;[00:02:00]

Where strong Niagara's thunders wake[00:02:09]

The echo of the world;[00:02:13]

Where red Missouri bringeth[00:02:19]

Rich tributes from the west [00:02:22]

And Rappahannock sweetly sleeps[00:02:26]

On green Virginia's breast [00:02:30]

You say their cone-like cabins [00:02:39]

That clustered o'er the vale [00:02:42]

Have fled away like withered leaves[00:02:50]

Before the autumn gale:[00:02:53]

But their memory lives on in your hills [00:03:00]

Their baptism on your shore;[00:03:03]

Your everlasting rivers speak[00:03:12]

Their dialect of yore [00:03:14]

Old Massachusetts wears it[00:03:24]

Within her lordly crown [00:03:27]

And broad Ohio bears it[00:03:29]

'Mid all her young renown;[00:03:34]

Connecticut hath wreathed it[00:03:40]

Where her quiet foliage waves [00:03:43]

And bold Kentucky breathed it hoarse[00:03:46]

Through all her ancient caves [00:03:50]

Wachuset hides it's lingering voice[00:03:58]

Within his rocky heart [00:04:02]

And Alleghany graves it's tone[00:04:04]

Throughout his lofty chart;[00:04:08]

Monadnock on his forehead hoar[00:04:14]

Doth seal the sacred trust;[00:04:17]

Your mountains build their monument [00:04:28]

Though you destroy their dust[00:04:32]
