Amen
It is over. What is over?Nay, now much is over truly!—Harvest days we toiled to sow for;Now the sheaves are gathered newly,Now the wheat is garnered duly.
It is finished. What is finished?Much is finished known or unknown:Lives are finished; time diminished;Was the fallow field left unsown?Will these buds be always unblown? 10
It suffices. What suffices?All suffices reckoned rightly:Spring shall bloom where now the ice is,Roses make the bramble sightly,And the quickening sun shine brightly,And the latter wind blow lightly,And my garden teem with spices.
