The Tomahawk

by (1862–1942)

Listen in the reader

The Tomahawk's a fearsome bird, we deem; Though feathered tribes hold him in great esteem; A bird of prey, he whizzes through the air, And clutches his pale victim by the hair. Gory and grewsome,--he is the mainstay Of the historic novel of to-day.
