Proud swaying pendant of a crystal chain, 



On fair Columbia's rich and bounteous breast 

 With beaded lakes that necklace-like retain 



Heaven's stainless blue with golden sunlight blest 1 

 What other land can boast a gem so bright! 



With colors born of sun and driven spray — 

 A brooch of glory, amulet of might 



Where all the irised beauties softly stray. 

 Ay, more — God's living voice, Niagara thou! 



Proclaiming wide the anthem of the free ; 

 The starry sky, the crown upon thy brow, 



Thy ceaseless chant a song of Liberty. 

 But this thy birthright, this thy sweetest dower, 



Yon arching rainbow — Love still spanning Power. 



Carus, Paul. The chiefs daughter: a legend of Niagara. Chicago: 

 c. 1901. 



The legend of the last sacrifice of the Oniahgahrah Indians. Accord- 

 ing to the tale the chieftain's daughter gives herself as a sacrifice in spite 

 of all of Hennepin's arguments. Her father follows her over the Falls. 

 In the words of the author, the " Ruler of the Cataract " and the " Maid 

 of the Mist " are at home in a crystalline grotto " in the unfathomable 

 depths of the Horseshoe Falls, but on moonlight nights they visit the 

 Three Sister Islands or the Cave of the Winds and their figures may be 

 seen hovering over the rapids or round that beautiful white sheet of water 

 called the Bridal Veil." The two characters mentioned are symbolical 

 of the powerful grandeur and chaste beauty of the scene.
