Has not an equal far or near,

For water sparkling bright and clear.

It thrills the heart and charms the sight,
Thus dancing on, as in delight,

To pour its fresh and crystal flow

Into the ocean far below.

No wonder Indians strewed, like stones,
Along its banks the settlers’ bones,
Before they ’d leave a scene so fair
And turn to seek a home elsewhere.
The arm indeed might well be strong,
The hatchet heavy, arrow long,

And scalping-knife be ever keen

Defending such a lovely scene.
