Which make that current gaily beautiful.

And so it rolls, in its magnificence

Tumbling and sparkling up into the sun

Like an eternal thing: buoyant and bright

Beneath the airs of Heaven that murmur mirth

And hope, and life, and pauseless interest.

While on its living course no spot is seen

That is not far too bright and glorious

For the approach of grim decay, or that

More mighty and more terrible shadow Death
