Not illustrated. 1853 Excerpt: ...time, and read their doom. LAKE ONTARIO. Deep thoughts o'ershade my spirit while I gaze Upon the blue depths of thy mighty breast; Thy glassy face is bright with sunset rays, And thy far-stretching waters are at rest, Save the small wave that on thy margin plays, Lifting to summer airs its flashing crest: While the fleet hues across thy surface driven, Mingle afar in the embrace of heaven.
