My house is not quiet, I am not loud; But for us God fashioned our fate together. I am the swifter, at times the stronger, My house more enduring, longer to last. A times I rest; my dwelling still runs; Within it I lodge as long as I live. Should we two be severed, my death is sure.

"I am the swifter" ?? Show-off! Once in you're life you beat a sleeping opponent, and you're the swifter?

I liked BNC's answer except it doesn't fit-"my dwelling still runs". Mind you in some cartoons it does happen.

I was thinking of the deep-sea angler fish ... specifically the male of the species. Now that would be an interesting result! Didn't seem to fit the "my house is not quiet" bit though.

I assumed that the "house" was the river, or stream.
