Visitors, whene’er you wish
To feast on poultry, flesh and fish,
‡‡‡‡And right good wine,
Leave your fare across the river,
And like a hearty right good liver,
‡‡‡‡At the Pavilion dine.

To view Niagara Falls one day,
A parson and a tailor took their way;
The parson cried whilst wrapped in wonder,
And listening to the cataract’s thunder,
Lord! how thy works amaze our eyes,
And fill our hearts with vast surprise: —
The tailor merely made this note —
Lord! what a place to sponge a coat!!

A scene so vast, so wildly grand,
May well a mortal’s mind amaze;
For even the swift wing’d angel band,
On Mercy’s errand, stop to gaze.

Roll on, Niagara! — amid thy roar,
‡‡There is a voice that whispers me;
And breathes into my startled ear
‡‡One lone, wild word — ETERNITY.

Roar away, mighty Fall
I am done — that is all.
