An excerpt from the Tale of Manitou-Ewitchi-Saga:


Ages untold dreamed on in fair content.
The children of Ewitchi lived his laws,
Basked on his blufftops, waded in his creeks,
And trustful in the pleasant dream of life
Passed trustful to the pleasant dream of death.
The trees unnumbered gloried in the Sun,
Clematis crept, white trilliums flowered and fell,
Sedge and red mountain laurel watched by streams,
In sandy bays the waterlilies shone,
The speckled trout inhabited his nooks
The grey his deeps, innumerable schools
Of fry forged merrily along the shores
Where ran the prudent mink, and flocks of ducks,
Contented sailed and silent herons fished,
While bright kingfishers flew from tree to tree,
And nights rang with the insistent whippoorwill.


Millions of years they lived their busy lives.
Enchanted by Ewitchi.


Yesterday
Yesterday to those countless years of life


Came the first man as if he owned it all,
One of a brutal race, untribal chief
By murder right, of thankless offspring fierce,
And by the heron-haunted marsh he lit
His fire that frighted and began to slay :
Slew the great-hearted bear, the graceful deer
The painted trout, the whippoorwill, the loon
That laughing fluter in the lonely bays,
Then the kind beaver, loved by manitous,
The blameless beaver, slew he in their house,
And roared "Ewitchi is not chief, but I,"
The weeping beaver the Blue Heron prayed
"Go tell our Father": the Blue Heron told
The Eagle Gray, Ewitchi's messenger.
So from his summits the Ewitchi looked
And as the master of that low-browed clan
Defiant slaughter spread, a cloud arose
Pillared, colossal, black, the great range shook
With wrathful tremblings, and the wicked horde
Fell crushed beneath the windfalls of the storm.


Therefore the kindlier Red Man later feared
The Trembling Mountain feared with reverent head
And murmured "Manitou-Ewitchi-Saga"
"The Mountain of the Dreaded Manitou"
And still the mountain shakes when thoughtless souls
Defy the great laws of the wilderness
And still the children of Ewitchi live
His will, and wait the passing of brief Man.
