panther in the sky - pan-amerikan native front lyrics

“tec-mseh was one of the most renowned of a race of orators
the stately algonquian language displayed its greatest beauty when spoken by him. his eloquence flowed as freely as a mighty river, or again, thundering like a cataract, it swept everything along on its tempestuous tide. tec-mseh’s speech can never reach our ears; we cannot see the light flash from his hazel eye or the smile play upon his bronze cheek. we cannot watch his graceful gestures. his personal presence we may not feel; but behind his recorded words we are still aware of living force and power
we can picture his manly form in its simple attire, as he paces up and down, dominating his hearers by his persuasive speech, convincing their reason, controlling their judgment, compelling their action. none knew the untaught and unteachable art of oratory better than tec-mseh. throughout his life it ever played an important part, from his first outburst, which was in defense of a helpless captive, until his last appeal to the courage of a british general. tec-mseh acquitted himself gallantly upon the field of battle, where he was always conspicuous for his courage; but in the council-chamber there were also battles to be fought, in which words were weapons, and there tec-mseh was no less conspicuous and successful.”
