from The Waterfall

With what deep murmurs through time's silent stealth
Do thy transparent, cool, and watery wealth
                Here flowing fall
                And chide and call,
As if his liquid loose retinue stayed
Lingering, and were of this steep place afraid,
                The common pass
                Where, clear as glass,
                All must descend
                Not to an end;
But quickened by this deep and rocky grave,
Rise to a longer course more bright and brave. 

– Henry Vaughan (1621-1695)
