All frost shall freeze, fire consume wood,

Earth grow its fruits. Ice shall bridge water,

Which shall carry its cover and cunningly lock

75 The herbs of earth. One only shall loose

The fetter of frost, the Father Almighty.

Winter shall away, the weather be fair,

The sun hot in summer. The sea shall be restless.

The deep way of death is the darkest of secrets.

80 Holly flames on the fire. Afar shall be scattered

The goods of a dead man. Glory is best.
