Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ode to Niagara, and Other Poems From far-famed lofty Table Rock In wide-extending vision, I behold, entranced, The magnitude and symmetry of thy Proportions. In one grand panoramic Picture thou stretchest out before me - thy Spacious overflowing gulf, thy distant Falling flood, an avalanche of silver Sheen, thy wooded islands intervening Crags, and, near at hand, thy massive bending Horseshoe: while far above the ascending Rapids thy broad expanse of azure waves Blend with the skies which frame the inspiring scene. Long ages past, when the primeval woods Sheltered thy banks, and fierce barbaric tribes Threaded the forest trails to look on thee And listen to thy voice, they felt in their Untutored hearts the presence here of the Great Spirit brooding oer thy heights sublime And foaming depths profound. Fit temple art Thou for the living God. Nature perpetual Sabbath keeps within thy precincts, and man´s Soul, awed by the thunder of thy deep tones, Hushes the discords of a world of strife And, low before the universe´s King, In spirit worships and with him communes.
