For the cloudiest night has a hint of

The current of life runs every way on

Don't set your force 'gainst the riv-

motion;
Don't waste curse on the universe,
remember it lived before you;
Don't butt at the storm with your
puny form, but bend and let it fly

IT'S folly to fight the infinite and go
under at last in the wrestle;
