[All things freely flow]
All things freely flow
In the starry current:
Sullen or abhorrent,
As half-drown'd we glide;
Know too much, too little;
Turn our strength and gladness
Into gloom and madness,
Struggling with the tide.

Multitudes of germs
Travel unconfounded;
Planets simply rounded
Make gigantic way;
Terms of fate protect them,
Ignorant of treason:—
Well when human reason
Chooses to obey.

Fatal flowing Time,
Strong thy liquid fetter;
Yet I swim the better,
Nor compassion crave:
Prime of thee and all things,
Nature's secret essence
Lives to its own presence
Where we break thy wave.
