"The hell of waters" ― Byron.

J. E. M.

Untitled

 

Roar, rage and foam, Niagara,
    We mark thy waters hurled
From off thy giddy summit —
    Thou wonder of the world.

Let sceptics doubt a Deity,
    But in their proud career,
They'll own that more than mortal hand
    Hath left its signet here.
