Williams, Espy. Niagara, 

 poems. N. Y.: Putnam. 1892 



Before — the bright green waters 



In listless madness fly, 

 Leap shouting smoothly downward, 



Mount mistful, white to sky. 



Above — the bright sun shining, 

 Kisses the dancing spray, 



Till smiling it blushes all colors 

 And in gladness melts away. 



O heart ! with your tireless torrent 

 Of doubt, and cataract fears, 



Love's sunshine still kisses to blushes, 



And scatters your mist and tears.
