Excerpt from Niagara: And Other Poems
Loud roared the furnace fires, and tall leapt the smoke from volcanoes, Scooped were round bowls for lakes, and grooves for the sliding of rivers, Whilst, with a cunning hand, the mountains were linke'd together.
Then through the day - dawn, lurid with cloud, and rent by forked lightning, Stricken by earthquake beneath, above by the rat tle of thunder, Sudden the clamor was pierced by a voice, deep lunged and portentous.
