Who sighs that all dies?

Dies, all dies!

The grass it dies, but in vernal rain

Up it springs, and it lives again:

Over and over, again and again, it lives, it dies,

And it lives again, and over and over again,

Who sighs that all dies?

Summer and winter, pleasure and pain,

Everything, everywhere in God's reign.

They end, and anon they begin again:

Wane and wax and wane:

Over and over and over amain,

End, ever end, and begin again.
