'' Thou pausest not in thine allotted task, 



darkling River! through the night I hear 

 'i'hy wavelets rippling on the pebbly beach, 



1 hear thy current stir the rustling sedge 

 That skirts thy bed. Thou intermittest not 

 Thiue everlasting journey, drawing on 



A silvery train from many a woodland spring 

 And niouutain brook." 



Bbtant.
