The Bohemian Dreams - Niagara

Robert Service

I think of vast Niagara,
Those gulfs of foam a-shine,
Whose mighty roar would stagger a
More prosy bean than mine;
And as the hours I idly spend
Against a greasy wall,
I know that green the waters bend
And fall and fall and fall.

Stanza five of a poem in which the poet dreams of different places around the world.
