Unrest + 

Comes there, O Earth, no breathing time for thee, + 

No pause upon thy many-chequered lands? + 

Now resting on my bed with listless hands + 

I mourn thee resting not. Continually + 

Hear I the plashing borders of the sea + 

Answer each other from the rocks and sands! + 

Troop all the rivers seawards; nothing stands, + 

But with strange noises hasteth terribly! + 

Loam-eared hyenas go a moaning by; + 

Howls to each other all the bloody crew + 

Of Afric’s tigers! but, O men, from you + 

Comes this perpetual sound more loud and high + 

Than aught that vexes air! I hear the cry + 

Of infant generations rising too! + 
