A well remembered form in each old tree
And hear a voice long loved in thy wild minstrelsy.

Now scantier limits the proud arch confine,
And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine;
A small Euphrates thro' the piece is roll'd,
And little eagles wave their wings in gold.

On the Big Blackfoot River above the mouth of Belmont Creek the
