All round the year the changing suns and rains Beat on men's work to wreck and to decay But nature builds more perfectly than they, Her changing unchanged sea resists, remains.
All round the year new flowers spring up to shew How gloriously life is more strong than death; And in our hearts are seeds of love and faith, Ah, sun and showers, be kind, and let them grow.

RESURGAM.
Swift pass the hours, or lengthened by our hearts Uncertain measurement of time, And when we dream the year has just awoke, We wake to find her in her prime.
We sadden with the dying Autumn leaves, Yet falling seeds their promise bring; Through long dark Winter days we only wait A resurrection in the coming Spring...
