NIPIGON’S
SLEEPING BEAUTY
The Sleeping
Beauty has now been found,
Jist West of
Nipigon on higher ground,
In beauty
there she lies defiant,
A partner of
the Sleeping Giant.
She faces
toward the rising sun,
And guards
the vallies, till day is done,
A micro-wave
tower shines through the night,
To mark the
place of her early flight.
In summer
she has a coat of green,
From
Everettville she can be seen,
In Winter
she has a coat so white,
She sleeps
serenely through the night.
She flashes
her lightning whip at will,
Her roars of
Thunder shake every hill,
She kicks up
a storm but cannot escape,
From the Red
Rock Hill to Thunder Cape.
This “Queen
of the North” will awaken some day,
From the
beautiful mountain towering Nipigon Bay,
And will
turn back again to her place as before,
To her slumbering
partner, On Thunder Bay Shore.
