BY THE MOHAWK'S BUCKSKIN DOOR
The Forest-Ranger's Courtship
Do we return to the Rockies?Surely we camp once more
There on the peaks of to-morrow
By the Mohawk's buckskin door.
The old Gods and the new Gods
Must fight in student hearts.
When the new tribes seem most sleepy
Another war-whoop starts.
When the old Gods seem but basalt,
We hear a sistrum ring.
In the end of the years
Will Thoth, the scribe,
Or the Mohawk be our king?
