Written by a retired army surgeon, who gives his general reflections 

 on the Falls, the points of vantage for viewing Niagara, and the best 

 season for seeing them. The poem is weli-written, and its restraint is a 

 relief after some of the more extravagant effusions.

Niagara. 

 I hear the thunderous thud, the muffled roar 

 I see the blinding, wheeling, smiting mists, 

 The greens, the grays, purples and amethysts, 

 From Heaven's wide palm thy frightened cataracts pour, 

 And I look up beneath them and adore. 

 Above me hang chain lightnings on the wrists 

 Of summer tempests. In the awesome lists 

 Of contests are the thunders and thy shore. 

 Beneath thy quivering riven cliff I lie 

 And gaze into the lightning and the sky 

 But I hear only thee and touch and see 

 A hand which undergirds immensity. 

 Thou speakest much, but speaketh most of him; 

 God, God, God walks on thy watery rim.
