THE OUTLOOK.
An engraving, frontispiece in a volume of Western Biographies.
From his wild covert (in the visioned Past?)The jealous Red-man sees
The settler's cabin, near; on yonder stream,
The boat fire-driven; far-off, over these,
The spire-lit city:—if to him they seem
Shadows of pitiless Doom that travels fast,
They realise our fathers' eager dream!
