Niagara Falls

I often think to write on thee
In holy eves oh waterfalls! 
Thou captivate all heart that beat
Thy magic everyone enthralled
 All pouring clouds by thee that pass
Thy very sight them all appalled

Who thee from heavens on Earth called?
Who made thy beauteous shiny braids?
More whitish than the snowy flakes
Are these the hair of ancient maids? 

Who brought up thee in olden days? 
Some watery brook or watery lake! 
Deep oceans look at thee in awe
All rivers bring thou in thy wake 

All fairies fly at thy great heights
And angels sing for thee there songs
Thy music beauteous than the winds
For thee the heart of cuckoo longs

Thousands of years I thought in awe! 
Then at the end this I surmised 

Some mighty angel brought thee there
From far off , far off paradise

Love your spirit Sabahat, beautiful & bright! my parents honeymooned there after their wedding ..one of my 2 daughter's is enamored with waterfalls lives in Portland Oregon, close to nature ..I taught her camping when her & her sister were young the fact negative ions produced by water cells splitting in waterfalls if you can bathe in their mist you can temporarily reverse aging

Thanx a lot. No doubt the beautiful sights of nature have soothing and healing effects. They can call back thousands of phantoms from the book of memories .
