a grasping feature butcher,
With adamantine gall,
Wants TO build a gallery
At Minnehahas fall.
He wants to catch the people
Who come to see the falls.
And sell them Injun moccasins
And beaded oyeralls.
He wants to take their ''phizes,"

With the foliage around them
And the water at the back
But the shade of Hiawatha
No such sacrilege would brook;
And he'd shake the stone foundations
Ere a ''picter had been took"

For he says he'd like to see
The lovely falls, the creek the WOODS,
Just as they used TO be.
