Weakness shall make him stronger
hunger shall make him happier
persecution shall lift him higher
and anger he shall conquer
power he shall acquire
justice he shall deliver
Cynosure of all eyes
never shall he tell a lie
as drops of fluid on a myrh
no blot, no stain. Only more shine
every blessing, life shall magnify
and when nature's trifle problems walk by
divine solution in its footsteps shall follow
on untramped paths in travail solo
never does breeze withers inmates of a meadow
but spreading God's wings on every phase narrow
making gold holes of life burrows
say i, too full of ego!
But Marner's coins never were lost
only transformed to a wandering lot
raising the hope of the dying dawn
How come the run rises in the slum?
Recounting joys of days long gone
We have come home, oh Lord!
Our treasured bags have crawled in empty
warriors of old sickly in groups clumsy
the holy maid has been smitten
the erring virgin strapped with weaklings
our beds are fouled with owls' droppings
in the river banks our feet baking
Alas! The risen sun has been eclipsed
laughter bitter echoing in our ears
heads bowed down in gaily sadness
and then it passed away
it is over! Cried the young plants
it is over! Cried the old sun
happy days surely are here
they that laughed happily weep
for the hatchet's grave been washed away
smiling flowers and growing faces
he has returned in all his splendor
spoils once lost trails his trains
merriment, say you?
