Ode on Niagara Falls, home to the negro

O mighty, mighty lake

home to the glorious negro.

How the mighty fall.

O Lordy, how the mighty fall, 

deep,deep into the gorge,

and beyond.

On river banks many, many

negroes born and bred well.

Long time, long story,

lost.

Black to pale they went.

Remain, remain, strong and 

mighty in your fabric of black and gold.

Colours of the rainbow you shall wear,

and more.
