I am now wreathing;
This is thy marriage hymn

Breathing my beloved in,

Of bridegrooms, brides, and of their bridal cakes.

Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.

Lift their heads to greet the sun;
Sweetest looks and odours raise,
In a silent hymn of praise.

The one refused the other one to take,
