First Line: The day is heavy. The heart
Last Line: Remain, although you die!
Subject(s): Winter
The day is heavy. The heart . . .
Come, come, my weary mind,
Are not the snows this year
Like gems by God designed?
The day is heavy. The heart . . .
Push back your restless thought;
Work progresses strangely well,
Why need my soul be wrought?
The day is heavy. The heart . . .
Why think of ashes dry?
The tasks -- the gemlike snows
Remain, although you die!
