What good I see humbly I seek to do, And live obedient to the law, in trust That what will come, and must come, shall come well.
Within yourself deliverance must be searched for, because each man makes hiw own prison.
Like threads of silver seen through crystal beads Let love through good deeds show.
Almond blossom, sent to teach us That the spring days soon will reach us.
One can be a soldier without dying and a lover without sighing.
Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor's love wrought in living stones.
