FLOWING STREAM, by                    
First Line: The surface of the flowing stream
Last Line: Impetuously in its deeps.


The surface of the flowing stream
Is polished by the prying wind,
Resolved to publish, it would seem,
The secrets hidden in its mind.

The jagged pebbles gash its flanks,
And as the waters swell again
And ever o'er the river's banks
It murmurs fretfully in pain.

As if a serpent, terrified
Beneath the bubbles as it sleeps,
Awakens suddenly, to slide
Impetuously in its deeps.
