Original text and translations
English text
- In winter's heart all silent lies,
- Dark earth no songbird sings;
- And yet in brighter climes fulfills
- The promise of our Spring.
- For earth no sorrow knows at death,
- or winter's cruelest cold,
- She knows at death's deepest part,
- Life's tenderest's flowers unfold.
-
- We here on earth are season bound:
- We're born to bloom and die.
- But each year as the seasons turn,
- Life sings a new-born's cry.
- For as the sun takes not its course
- In orbit 'round the earth,
- The law of love is not contained
- in Man or death or birth.
