For things that pass are past, and in this field

The indeficient spring no winter fears;

The trees together fruit and blossom yield,

The unfading lily leaves of silver bears,

And crimson rose a scarlet garment wears:

And all of these on the saints' bodies grow,

Not, as they wont, on baser earth below;

Three rivers here of milk, and wine, and honey flow.
