Niagara Falls
I often think to write on thee
In holy eves oh waterfalls!
Thou captivate all heart that beat
Thy magic everyone enthralled
All pouring clouds by thee that pass
Thy very sight them all appalled
Who thee from heavens on Earth called?
Who made thy beauteous shiny braids?
More whitish than the snowy flakes
Are these the hair of ancient maids?
Who brought up thee in olden days?
Some watery brook or watery lake!
Deep oceans look at thee in awe
All rivers bring thou in thy wake
All fairies fly at thy great heights
And angels sing for thee there songs
Thy music beauteous than the winds
For thee the heart of cuckoo longs
Thousands of years I thought in awe!
Then at the end this I surmised
Some mighty angel brought thee there
From far off , far off paradise
