Of the sky-world floating downward,

Early rains that from them pour;

Love’s own heaven thy mother bore thee,

And the Father God bends o’er thee,

’Tis His hand that crowns thy forehead;

Thou shalt live forever more,

Not on Earth, in Eden more.

As a gem hath many gleamings,

And a day hath many beamings,

And a garden many roses
