May every day of this
Grand turnaround of seasons
Seem longer than is wont of nature;
May every morning find undiminished
The golden splendor of the sun;
May every evening find undimmed
The silver splendor of the vesperstar;
May everyone about you be wakened
By your own reviving life;
And may your path be illumined
With lanterns and early-blooming flowers.
