Which set of lines provides a contrast to the description of the river? Little river! Little river!
Why forsake your mountain home,
Like an arrow from a quiver1,
Flashing by in froth and foam?

5 Downward dashing, plunging, leaping,
Is it rest that you pursue?
Is it yon lake that, sleeping,
Calmly seems to wait for you?

In that lake you may not tarry—
10 Brief the pause that allowed you there;
Soon you’ll leave with all you carry,
Rushing on your mad career.

A larger inlet next receives you;
Longer respite it bestows;
15 Its seeming calm again deceives you—
Respite only, not repose2.

Will you seek it in the ocean,
Mingling with its boundless blue?
Speedily dismiss the notion
20 That the sea has rest for you.

With its restless billows blending,
Tempest-tossed and turned to rain,
On some mountain top descending,
You’ll begin your course again.

25 While the sun continues burning,
I, like you, my race must run—
The wheel of change forever turning—
Nowhere rest beneath the sun!
