Niagara Falls 



1871 Or else for making money you 



Must have some other ways. 

 The driver smiled a queerish smile 

 And simply said, it pays. 



John gazed with admiration deep 



Upon the rapids grand, 

 Which up in seeming merriment 



Leapt high on every hand. 



The driver broke John's rapture up 



By asking him if he 

 Would like to see the Falls in all 



Their mighty majesty. 

 He said no good view could be had 



Unless they went around; 

 But there grand beauty unexcelled 



Could easily be found. 



John said " all right, we'll drive around, 



I came the Falls to view, 

 And hang me if I don't intend 



To see the whole thing through." 

 Poor foolish youth, his verdancy 



Would make a cynic laugh, 

 Most anyone would be content 



With seeing less than half. 



But round they went and o'er the Bridge 



And into Canada; 

 I'll guarantee John ne'er forgets 



The trip he made that day. 

 And here allow me to remark 



This game is often played, 

 They call it " turning," and God help 



You when that " turn " is made.
