Another year

Another year, so long,
How wrapt are we in bonds
Which flits from bloom to flower
With heavy hum and burr

We wear with hidden pride
Not knowing what the cost
Yet still the world turns on;
The golden dawn awakes,

The winter frost gives way
Preparing earth once more
As April’s pitterpat
And dew drops in the night

So now I think of you
Do not forget to do
The Lord give strength to you,
According to his will
has now passed away; see
unlike the happy bee
along the border neat
pursuing nectar sweet.

the mask upon the face
of leaving our safe place.
it circles in the sky.
the silver moon glides by,

to spring in earnest hue
with whistling songs for you.
brings showers on the lawn
the flowers well adorn,

who once encouraged me:
to be what you would be.
now make his face to shine
on you and your true line.
