SULLIVAN'S MURDER.

H;ivk ! the voice of indignation Sweeps ita course throughout the land j Heard in every habitation, Heard in each assembled band, Speaking loudly of the ravage, Where, in solitude and gloom, Munis murdciod by the savage, Hnnicd to his linal doom ! Lcfb alone, and unprotected, No one near to take his part, He was slain, and then dissected, Rifled, of hib liciil timl hcait ; Vain the cry for life he utter'd, For the rebels acorn'd his plea ; Whilst his latest heai t-stringa llutter'd, They rejoie'd with savage glee ! Vengeance, O thou Gieat Eternal ; Vengeancr, O thou righteous God ; Vengeance on the band infernal Who have steep'd their hands in blood ; Let it not a moment linger, Is the burden of our cry ; While with scorn wo point the finger, Let the wretched villains die. J. E. H. Ngaruaw Uiia, IS7.X
