1. From every overflowing stream you see
Paths that become on the waves eddies

2. She was called the mother of time and so suckled
Her young ones at the breast of spears still tender

3. So it is as if they flock together out of fright
Or of awe were there among them one startling

4. And as if they from what drew near and met
Were birds that in the air saw a fierce falcon
