And seems it hard my vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 4 Seemeth it strange to me My own will to deny? Seemeth it sad, my soul, to thee, Under the yoke to lie? 5 I look, and hold my peace: The Giver of all good E'en from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 6 That I may reap in love, Help me to sow in fear: So life a winter's morn may prove To a bright, endless year.
