First Line: Where echo ne'er hath found
Last Line: Of unextinguished love.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Niagara Falls; Waterfalls
Where echo ne'er hath found
A footing on the steep,
Descends, without a sound,
The cataract of sleep.
Like swallows in the spray,
When evening is near,
The thronging thoughts of day
About the brink appear,
Till greets a heaven below
A sister heaven above,
Alike with stars aglow
Of unextinguished love.
