To let it kindle up; but minding every trifle

Is profitless as quarrels with the wind.

"Forth to his business when the Whirlwind sallies,

He is all alive to get it done;—

He on his pathway never lags nor dallies;

But is ever up, and on the run.

"Though ever whirling, never growing dizzy;

Motion gives him buoyancy and power.

All who have known him own that he is busy,

Doing much in half a fleeting hour.
