above the torrents hammering the rocks | B |
she keeps her balance with a parasol | C |

and prances back and forth Engaged to call | C |
attention to her death defying walk | D |
beyond the tightrope stretched across the falls | A |

the bowler hatted men who line the wall | C |

Along the tightrope stretched across the falls | A |
she keeps her balance with a parasol | C |
