Far, far away:

Neath happy sky,

Happy and gay;

Silver fishes play.

There snow-clad hills in

Sweet as the flowers

Fade, fade away,

Oh, heart of mine!

Rapture sublime!

My treasure divine. '

Way down upon the Skeena river,

Where happy birds are singing ever,
Rabbits and coyotes play.
‘There where the ancient Redmen slumber,

And crimson wreathes of woodland roses
*Round the totem poles lie. ~ ;

'* Way down upon the ‘Skeena river,
Coquetting with the golden sunbeams,

There grow the lovely scarlet nasaie
And the sweet sim-mai;

Tower in the golden sky.

Way down upon the Skeena river,
O’er mountains bold;

Marking the path of deer and grizzly:
Searching for silver and gold.

There in the calm of the star-lit evening,
By the camp fire’s glow,

We sang the songs of love’s fair morning—
The songs of long ago,

Way down upon the Skeena river,
Where wild bears play,
One little form is gently sleeping—

And when the silver shades of evening

Angels—their loving vigils keeping. —
Watch till the golden day.

Way down upon the Skeena river,

Just where the lovely, laughing waters
Kiss the murmuring pine.
There in our little moss-

Tenderly waits my Nellie—

And Oh how I long for the Skeena!
I dream of it o’er and o'er;

For the song of the mountain streamlet,
And the swish of the canyon’s roar;
For the sweet-scented flowers and the pea-
The little grave by the shore,
And the voice of her that is dearest,

Calling from my cabin door.

But, oh! they say it is madness—
They have told it me o’er and o'er;
That my Nell is no longer waiting
For me at the cabin door; __ a,
That for years and years she’s been sleep-
"Neath the cold and silent sod;
That ne’er again will she greet me;
They say she is dead—Oh, God!

But I don’t believe it—I cannot!
For I heard her sweet voice to-day;

And she sang and laughed as she used to,
In the same old loving way.

She placed her hand on my forehead,
‘And my hand on her hosom lay,

, And I kissed her dear lips—then somehow

My Nellie faded away.

I tried te follow right after,
But these bars were, Oh! so strong;
I don’t know why I'm kept here ‘
I never did any one wrong;
And I was always good to Nellie—
If you ask her, this she'll teli—
But they say [ am mad and wandering;
But. ] remember well.

For I was on the mountains hunting,
One bright June day of yore;
And just this once my Nellie
Wasn't waiting at the door,
Then I stepped in, Oh, ao gently,
And—well Nell was lying there;
Her face looked just like an angel’s,
"Neath its wreaths of golden hair,

Then I pressed her lips so softly,
And stroked her lovely cheek;
But somehow just this once
My Nellie didn’t speak.
Then I grew so cold and chilly,
For no fire was on the hearth;
It seemed like chill December,
And the snow was on the earth.

And—well, now I most forget it,
But this one thing 1 know:
They came with iron shackles,
And said that I must go.
I cried: ‘I’m looking for Nellie,’’
I struggled, pleaded sore;
But they forced me midst my weeping
Away from my cabin door,

And for long, long years I’ve been watch-
Cloge to these iron bars;

Looking and longing for Nellie,
Counting the cold, shining stars.

But now she whispers: ‘‘I'm waiting,”
And I vow by the light of the day

That e’er the break of the dawning
I'll tear these fetters away.

I'll take the wings of the morning,
And soar’o'er the mountains high;

I'll laugh at the mad-cap billows,
And echo the sea-gull’s cry.

I'll wake the lark and the screech owl,
The pay cockatoo and the roe:

The bear will spring from his lair,
As on and onward I go.

Farewell! farewell to my dungeon!
Farewell ta these iron bars;

To the long, long nights of watching,
And the cold, cold silent stars.

I rise! 1 soar to the Skeena—
Sweet paradise of yore;

To my Nell who beckons me homeward,
To my dear old cabin door,
