Excerpt from The Land of the Aiouwas: A Masque
Woods on the Iowa shore of the Mississippi; trees in the foreground, thicket at rear, log at edge of thicket. On one wing suggestion of river background, on the other, lodges of the Indians.
Enter Joliet and Dumont.
Joliet. Wilderness, wilderness! No sea to end it? Those red men, - they have left you the long yellow hair. Ah, Dumont, they will hear you shouting out poetry, again.
Dumont. Yes, still mine (touching his hair). They knew I was not spying. But Joliet, you do not lack the eye to see. This is not wilderness, this is a great country, the New France! That is why I gallop in metre. Will you hear?
Joliet. Yes, for a New France. But don't whoop it out the way you did yesterday.
Dumont. Ouch! Your words bite. But I forgive you. Come, tie up your grouchy voice. I speak to your heart, to your ardor for your country.
Bound for the southern gulf,
Or bound for the western ocean,
The Father of Waters leads, -
We follow, - we follow.
On the sunset shore of the river
In the land of the Aiouwans
The prairies lift and roll
In pageantry of summer.
With bee and with bird
The wilderness is singing
And the brooks hum low
To the sweet wild grasses.
O, the seeker moves
Over ways untrodden
