Oh, Hercules, still at thy labors keep! 1913 



Canst take the raging current from the flood Zaremba 



And swiftly, silent 'round a cable sweep? 



Ye Seven Wonders of the ancient world, 



Long since into oblivion hurled, 



Your kings and gods born to commemorate — 



'Tis to the people do we dedicate 



The Wonders of Today.

A story of the making of a home on land overlooking the whirlpool on 

 the Canadian side of the Niagara river. It is written in the form of a 

 diary, interspersed with many charming bits of description, sometimes 

 of the Falls, sometimes of the river, and again of the rapids or the whirlpool.

The Falls of Niagara. 



Imagination ever kind, 



Nursling of the poets' mind, 



Imps her wings, and soars afar 



To where Niagara's waters are, 

 And there, whilst throned on towering steep 

 Beholds its rumbling torrent sweep! 



Tremendous, stupendous, romantic, gigantic, 

 Gymnastic, fantastic, elastic, and plastic, 

 It splashes, and crashes, and lashing down-dashes, 

 It rumbles and roars, and plunging it pours, 

 It rolls and uprises, it swells and surprises,
