English poem
On The Banks Of A Rocky Stream
Composed 1846.--Published 1850
Behold an emblem of our human mind Crowded with thoughts that need a settled home Yet, like to eddying balls of foam Within this whirlpool, they each other chase Round and round, and neither find An outlet nor a resting-place! Stranger, if such disquietude be thine, Fall on thy knees and sue for help divine.
