Marcus - Vision of Niagara |
Sunday, November 13, 1927 |
I stood at Niagara's Falls today, And viewed the wond'rous work of God; The mighty river flowing by right o'way, Yes, dashing o'er the shaking sod. I looked again at Nature, and I saw That God was everywhere in view: The roaring river was of ancient law, Like sun, and moon and stars-not new. I learnt a valued lesson then and there, To see the waters fall below, For every drop was like a human tear Thus shed in earthly passion's flow. At once I tossed my head above to look, To read the story of the sky; It was so plain-this Nature's open book- I could not doubt, there was no Why! Again I looked with conscience, easy, At Niagara's angry surge- A living duplicate of Zambezi, That beats time's funeral dirge. And then I knew that all of life is one, A march from cradle to the grave; That every atom is a part of man, Who passes-coward and the brave. |
