Niagara Falls

Not in the mighty thunder,
    Not in the whirlpool's sound,
Not in the cataract's foaming fall,
    Will God always be found:

But in the still, small voice
    That speaks to man for aye,
In silence and in solitude,
    And in the rainbow's ray.

And here where Niagara roars,
    This beauteous bow is placed ―
Here may the finger of our God,
    In loveliness be traced.
