Regains its brightness and is born again,

Sundered from sin, somewhat as if

One should fetch in food, the fruits of the earth,

Should haul it home at harvest time,

245 The fairest of corn ere the frosts shall come

At the time of reaping, lest the rain in showers

Strike down and destroy it; a stay they have ready

A feast of food, when frost and snow

With their mighty coursing cover the earth

250 In winter weeds; the wealth of man
