NIAGARA (2) by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ON REGAN AND ON GONERIL
Last Line: CORDELIA -- THE RAINBOW -- STANDS.
Subject(s): NIAGARA FALLS; WATERFALLS;

On Regan and on Goneril --
The rugged rocks below --
He pours as from the mouth of hell
The torrent of his woe;
While o'er him, with protecting hands,
Cordelia -- the rainbow -- stands.
