See also J. Bayard Taylor, "Audubon. From the German of Ferdinand Freiligrath," _Graham's American Monthly Magazine_, vol. xxvi, p. 264. This poem consists of twenty stanzas, the first four and best of which are: Man of forests and savannas! On the Mississippi's tide, Leanest thou thy hunting-rifle Oft the Indian spear beside; With the forest's tawny chieftains Thou the friendly pipe dost light— Seest the wandering pigeon's journey And the eagle's silent flight. With thy shot thou lam'st his pinion; And the trackless region through, On the mighty river's mirror Pliest thou thy swift canoe. O'er the green and grassy prairie Boldly flies thy fiery steed; Deer and forest-fruits the manna God has given thee in thy need! Ferdinand Freiligrath (1810-1876), well known German lyric poet and apostle of democracy, was more than once forced to flee his native land on account of his political sentiments; he went to England seven years after Audubon had finally settled in America, and that country became his refuge for over twenty years; his translations from the English included Longfellow's poem of "Hiawatha." 171.
