The poem recounts a May walk with my love amid blooming hedgerows and larks at dawn. The wanderer recalls white meadows and sunlit branches, but grief arrives as the beloved dies near a hillside churchyard, leaving the speaker to walk on alone through dusk and moonlit thickets.
A long anecdote from Chippewa recalls three fatal river accidents near Niagara Falls. A farmer’s wagon and horse were dragged under by rising water after a scare, a neighbor tried to help but failed, and the box boat carried him toward the rapids before breaking apart. A second duck hunter perished when his boat drifted past Buckhorn island as dawn broke.
A large crowd watched as a man awakened in a shell near the riverbank, then disappeared at the brink of the falls. Two Chippewa youths racing the current on a straight course were swamped in the rapids after a desperate, five‑second struggle, their boat flipped and they were lost. A frightened mother cried for her son Jimmy as a child drifted away in an old boat, while Joel Lyons raced upriver to aid others with oars and a ready craft.
A dramatic account describes Lyons rowing a fragile scow toward the rapids to save a child from the Niagara. He faced near-certain death, used a diagonal river crossing to reach safety, then earned a gold medal from the Royal Lyceum Society of England for the daring act.
A New York Times Her Point of View essay argues tipping practices divide women and men. It recounts a woman noting varied responses to tips, from five cents to five dollars, and observes couples often split fees while men seldom do. It critiques the fee system as unaligned with American principles yet pervasive in dining culture.
