Psalm

I

All things good for good unite,
Evil things not long are single;
'Tis the dark hours bring the light,
Sightless atoms fashion sight,
Discords still for concord mingle.

II

To the wise and to the brave,
Living is as fair as loving;
Death brings flowers, on every grave
Moonlight sleeps, and willows wave
Lifelike while warm winds are moving.
