For what I have, I humbly thank
The One who rules otr destiny
I know that neither wealth nor rank
Could ever bring content to me.
I’ll envy none his birth ior throne.
Nor make another envV me
For what 1 am, not what I own
Comprises my entirely!
Each year the seasons co^ie and go.
To make Life’s lessonsfvery plain
Beneath the Winter's snout I'll know,
Like flowers of Spring, I'll live again.
