Niagara Falls 

 1910 With your deep diapason answering 



The Archangelic, chanting, golden globes, 



What time they chorused forth their crystalline, 



Exultant welcome to the stranger world ? 



Or is it, tolling cataracts, the doom, 



The unrevealable, forbidden thing, 



Your antiphonic, solemn voices boom? 



Or peradventure do your peals proclaim 



Some all-triumphal Name 



That could it once be won 



By mortal ear 



Would ecstasy the griefs we suffer here 



And charter love to wing 



Her radiant flight beyond oblivion? 



Dread Sisters, ye who smite 



The senses with intolerable roar, 



Is there no meaning in your ceaseless song, 



No word of God in all your mighty throng 



Of multitudinous thunders evermore?
