Niagara Falls

Crack Bard

Untitled

 

Stupendous river ― mighty cataract!
You excite my wonder ― that's a fact.
I love the music of thy roaring
In awful torrents ever pouring.

 

No Bard

Untitled

 

Both truth and poetry ― "that's a fact" ―
'Tis truth indeed that you are crack'd;
That you're a Bard is poetry,
Or in plain prose, an arrant lie.
