My cupboard’s a mess,
my sink filled with lye
My stables now empty,
my well has gone dry
My pastures are fallow,
my timber all burned
My streams have been fished out,
and what have I learned
The cupboard can be restocked,
the sink can be cleaned
A new well can be dug,
a new colt can be weaned
As the saplings are planted,
new roe will then spawn
All these troubles will pass,
- - and my faith will move on
