LIFE AT NIAGARA
But brief let me be, while the dull curfew tolls;
Niagara still lives! still it rushes, and rolls;—
There is no spot on earth where I'd sooner meet you,
And the friends we both love, N., the choice and the true,
Though a Downeastern editor published the lie
That this glorious old cataract's "all in my eye!"
