Under the open sky, in the odorous air of the orchard,Stript of its golden fruit, was spread the feast of betrothal.There in the shade of the porch were the priest and the notary seated;There good Benedict sat, and sturdy Basil the blacksmith.Not far withdrawn from these, by the cider-press and the beehives,Michael the fiddler was placed, with the gayest of hearts and of waistcoats.Shadow and light from the leaves alternately played on his snow-whiteHair, as it waved in the wind; and the jolly face of the fiddlerGlowed like a living coal when the ashes are blown from the embers.Gayly the old man sang to the vibrant sound of his fiddle,Tous les Bourgeois de Chartres, and Le Carillon de Dunkerque,And anon with his wooden shoes beat time to the music.Merrily, merrily whirled the wheels of the dizzying dancesUnder the orchard-trees and down the path to the meadows;Old folk and young together, and children mingled among them.Fairest of all the maids was Evangeline, Benedict's daughter!Noblest of all the youths was Gabriel, son of the blacksmith!

So, at the hoof-beats of fate, with sad forebodings of evil. Alike were they free fromFear, that reigns with the tyrant, and envy, the vice of republics.Neither locks had they to their doors, nor bars to their windows;But their dwellings were open as day and the hearts of their owners;There the richest was poor, and the poorest lived in abundance. And the great seal of the law was set like a sun on the margin. Rose no smoke from the roofs, and gleamed no lights from the windows. Hapless heart like her own had loved and had been disappointed.

But Elizabeth checked her, and answered, mildly reproving:Surely the Lord will provide; for unto the snow he sayeth,Be thou on the earth, the good Lord sayeth; He is itGiveth snow like wool, like ashes scatters the hoar-frost.So she folded her work and laid it away in her basket. The sun from the western horizon. Far down the Beautiful River,Past the Ohio shore and past the mouth of the Wabash,Into the golden stream of the broad and swift Mississippi,Floated a cumbrous boat, that was rowed by Acadian boatmen.It was a band of exiles: a raft, as it were, from the shipwreckedNation, scattered along the coast, now floating together,Bound by the bonds of a common belief and a common misfortune;Men and women and children, who, guided by hope or by hearsay,Sought for their kith and their kin among the few-acred farmersOn the Acadian coast, and the prairies of fair Opelousas.With them Evangeline went, and her guide, the Father Felician.Onward o'er sunken sands, through a wilderness sombre with forests,Day after day they glided adown the turbulent river;Night after night, by their blazing fires, encamped on its borders.Now through rushing chutes, among green islands, where plumelikeCotton-trees nodded their shadowy crests, they swept with the current,Then emerged into broad lagoons, where silvery sand-barsLay in the stream, and along the wimpling waves of their margin,Shining with snow-white plumes, large flocks of pelicans waded.Level the landscape grew, and along the shores of the river,Shaded by china-trees, in the midst of luxuriant gardens,Stood the houses of planters, with negro-cabins and dove-cots.They were approaching the region where reigns perpetual summer,Where through the Golden Coast, and groves of orange and citron,Sweeps with majestic curve the river away to the eastward.They, too, swerved from their course; and, entering the Bayou of Plaquemine,Soon were lost in a maze of sluggish and devious waters,Which, like a network of steel, extended in every direction.Over their heads the towering and tenebrous boughs of the cypressMet in a dusky arch, and trailing mosses in mid-airWaved like banners that hang on the walls of ancient cathedrals.Deathlike the silence seemed, and unbroken, save by the heronsHome to their roosts in the cedar-trees returning at sunset,Or by the owl, as he greeted the moon with demoniac laughter.Lovely the moonlight was as it glanced and gleamed on the water,Gleamed on the columns of cypress and cedar sustaining the arches,Down through whose broken vaults it fell as through chinks in a ruin.Dreamlike, and indistinct, and strange were all things around them;And o'er their spirits there came a feeling of wonder and sadness,Strange forebodings of ill, unseen and that cannot be compassed.As, at the tramp of a horse's hoof on the turf of the prairies,Far in advance are closed the leaves of the shrinking mimosa,So, at the hoof-beats of fate, with sad forebodings of evil,Shrinks and closes the heart, ere the stroke of doom has attained it.But Evangeline's heart was sustained by a vision, that faintlyFloated before her eyes, and beckoned her on through the moonlight.It was the thought of her brain that assumed the shape of a phantom.Through those shadowy aisles had Gabriel wandered before her,And every stroke of the oar now brought him nearer and nearer. Praying him to come up and sit in his chariot with him. This is the forest primeval; but where are the hearts that beneath it, Leaped like the roe, when he hears in the woodland the voice of the huntsman. Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow,Side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.Under the humble walls of the little Catholic churchyard,In the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed.Daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,Thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,Thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,Thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,Thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey! Motionless, senseless, dying, he lay, and his spirit exhausted. Shielding her eyes from the level rays of the sun, that, descending, Lighted the village street with mysterious splendor, and roofed each. Then through those realms of shade, in multiplied reverberations, Heard he that cry of pain, and through the hush that succeeded. Silently, therefore, he laid his hand on the head of the maiden, Raising his tearful eyes to the silent stars that above them. Then from his station aloft, at the head of the table, the herdsman. Guarding in sylvan shades the name of Penn the apostle. Unto ears like thine such words as these have no meaning. They, too, swerved from their course; and, entering the Bayou of Plaquemine.
