Work rating: Low

SLOW the limpid currents twining,
  Brawl along the lonely dell,
`Till in one wild stream combining,
  Nought its rapid course can quell;
So at first LOVE`S poisons stealing,
  Round the heart unheeded play,
While we hope our pangs concealing,
  Vainly hope to check his sway. 

If amidst the glassy river
  Aught impedes its placid course,
Ah ! it glides more swift than ever,
  While opposing gives it force;
So when HOPE and PASSION blending,
  Warm the feeble trembling frame;
REASON sickens by contending,
  Fanning only feeds the flame.
