Like wind that buffets lofty trees And breaks what’s loose and dry The trials that bring us to our knees Will cleanse us by and by

And like the winter snows that fall To grant the earth a rest The colder times that come for all Will help renew our best

Like dusky eve and dawn so bright Give cycles to our sphere So let your dark give way to light Let hope oppose your fear

Let rhythms flow and guide your way In yielding - you will find Both strength and joy in every day Both wealth and peace of mind
