Dead! Where the captives sing

Saved by his rifle's ring.

Dead! Where the painted brave

Bled by his gory glaive.

Dead! Dead! Ah!—Dead to me.

Dead! Where the feathered game

Fell at his deadly aim.

Dead! Where the buffalo

Found him a gallant foe.

Dead! Dead! Ah!—Dead to me.

Dead! Where the prairie steed

Vainly exerts his speed.

Dead! Where the antlered stag

Dies on the dizzy crag.

Dead! Dead! Ah!—Dead to me.

Dead! Where the valleys sink

Low to the river's brink.

Dead! Where the mountains spring

Higher than eagle's wing.

Dead! Dead! Ah!—Dead to me.
