Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,  
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,  
The bridal of the earth and sky:

But though the whole world turn to coal,  
Then chiefly lives.

English.png English text

Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky:
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,
For thou must die.

Sweet rose, whose hue, angry and brave,
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye:
Thy root is ever in its grave,
And thou must die.

Only a sweet and virtuous soul,
Like seasoned timber, never gives;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
Then chiefly lives.
