There is a strange fascination In watching a great force of water leap over a wall or rock It bounds and roars and thunders on so wild and free. Streaks of green and blue blended blend-ed with the bubbling foam. What magic chaim, what awful fascination fas-cination Holds mo spell bound, as I gaze Into the foaming abyss of the roaring roar-ing waters? Tho dash, they hound, they leap, And never cease. I gaze again The water still is there and tumbling tumbl-ing o'er That rocky wall; wilder and more furious than before. And so thei pour Incessantly. You wonder if the rler will ever be ox-haubted.. ox-haubted.. the force seems so terrific buLit rolls'on and never ceases Dizzy yoiw turn away, all senses stuuned. then eagerly you watch again, tho bounding waters arouse some strancje and wild deslro, some crazy impulse Fearful, lest y3u lose phjsical control you turn awav, afraid to gaze again.
