Clear a moment, ere thou blanch Into a mile-wide avalanche, Snowfall lapsing twice the height Of Niagara in his might! Born of thy resounding day, Myriad meteors o'er thee play: There is an evergreen dark grove, Guarded by thine own awful love: Her inner melancholy no sun may move, Mosi-oa-tunya!

Tall ghostly forms of sounding cloud Clothe her in a rainbow shroud; No bird of hers carols aloud, Mosi-oa-tunya!
