RESURGAM.
Ten years ago I heard a cry Be-echoing from the eastern sky Of woman's utmost woe: At that cry a.ihous ah:i sprung, No stalwart fellow backward hung To meet his sister's foe. Ten days ago — the cry again ! But with more anguish an-i more pain, Of our own brethren foully slain, Of infants whom, \vl\en slaughter cloyed, The beasts for wanton sport destroyed — We'll find our legs again. For every tear oar women shed, For every drop our brothers bled, A Maori soul wil! soon be sped - Unto the shades below. The 'noble savage!' some will cry; But if one ball turns out a ' bye,' We'll know ** the reason why.* — Dunediu Star. '
