The impulse of thy strength, only less free
            Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even
            I were as in my boyhood, and could be

            The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,
            As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed
            Scarce seemed a vision; I would ne'er have striven

            As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.
            Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
            I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!
