Liquid thunder laughs and roars!JJhf- In clouds of mist the foaming water pours. The flowering flood of prairie lands and lakesLeaps on, where Ocean all her children ! Who shall paint this heaven-created scene,These living waters, diamond, emerald green!The blue skies love to lift the waters high,And water steals the clouds from out the sky!Thy rainbows jeweled with fire and amethystMake glorious Aurora out of mist! The waters of the prairies wed anew Where Erie kisses fair Ontario, And Nature casts a gorgeous Bridal Veil Where the cleft rocks of ages break and fail. Thy liquid lip hath worn the stone away And eaten gorge and cavern in its play! The centuries and milleniums have tolled While thy light burden oer thy bosom rolled. Rome, Athens, Cairo, Babylon were young In infant speech, while spoke thy thunderous tongue! Here at creation fell the heel of GodTo make a basin for His mighty flood! fflitttxxx — To Mrs. William
