Of these
grim bears were foremost
Who boldly round her close
But with her gun brave Marguerite
Slew three of these fierce foes.
Thus
though most gently nurtured
This maiden rose to be
A heroine undaunted
On the lone isle of the sea
And Leon was a hero
Who risked fame
fortune
life
To be the sworn defender
Of helpless maid and wife.
Two dreary years of warfare
Had passed o'er Marguerite's head
Crowded with deeds heroic
Since she with Leon wed
When
far at sea some whalers
Observed a curling smoke
Rise from the haunted island
Which fear and wonder woke.
Was it the trick of demons
To lure them to the shore
And lead them on to ruin
As many had been before?
They thought it was
and kept aloof
Then vague surmises made.
That some unhappy mortal
Might need their timely aid.
So
triumphing o'er terror
44
They warily drew nigh
Descried a female figure
Waving her signals high;
Clothed in the skins mbt casual shoes |
