It runs through the reeds and away it proceeds

Through meadow and glade, in sun and in shade,

And through the wood-shelter, among crags in its flurry

Helter-skelter, hurry-skurry!

The cataract strong then plunges along,

Striking and raging as if a war waging

Its caverns and rocks among.

Concert.

Rising and leaping,

Sinking and creeping,
