In winter

Against winter, nobody should preach

The icy cold,the wind and then the sleet

The seed must die before the growth can start

The simple garden has so much to teach.

In this  way, we too repair our hearts.

The inner meetings of the soul and flesh.

Oh, winter

At the start the psyche is made flesh

The soul descends according to god’s wish

The mother’s arms create an inner nest

And thus the entire psyche is possessed

After penance comes the little fast.

Thus we have the love eternal blessed

Oh,summer
