Oh, our melancholy ways
Spring our cares to action…

Let courage free our prisons
Not only of cement and bars…

We must observe the delight of freedom
With strength found in our tasks-

For to reflect on the future
One must see with the soul in the mirror…

And we will find daily strife has solutions
Just as nature awakens from slumber…

With time to move forward not with ignorance-
But with good sense of our problems.
