Give Me My Arrows and Give Me My Bow
"Give Me My Arrows And Give Me My Bow" is a ballad written and composed by Samuel Lover in 1848.〔Lover, "Give Me My Arrows And Give Me My Bow" (Sheet music).〕 Lovers, an Irish songwriter and novelist, wrote the ballad during a trip to the United States.〔—, "Our Portrait Gallery", p. 203: "These extracts, from songs written in American, will serve to show that Mr. Lover's poetry was not a conventional thing following in the beaten track of everyday association, nor confined to Irish subjects, with which his name was so identified; but fresh scenes produced fresh poetic combinations, alike truthful and just in imagery and illustration."〕
==Preface==
Lover prefaced the poem with an introductory story:〔Lover, ''Songs and Ballads'', p. 27.〕
:''In the Great North American lakes there are islands bearing the name of ''"Manitou,"'' which signifies "THE GREAT SPIRIT," and Indian tradition declares that in these islands the Great Spirit concealed the precious metals, thereby showing that he did not desire they should be possessed by man; and that whenever some rash mortal has attempted to obtain treasure from "The Manitou Isle," his canoe was always overwhelmed by a tempest. The " Palefaces," however, fearless of " Manitou's" thunder, are now working the extensive mineral region of the lakes.''
