I acquiesce my Lord,
To the sadness You have decreed for my life.

You give value to us by separation,
We stand outside Your presence
And in the shadow of Time's Drum.

Yet let the sadness be without bitterness,
Let it be the sweet passing,
of snow to ice to stream,
of the Changing and falling of leaves,
of the Cries of a new life to death.

Touch my tears, Oh Lord,
And turn them to wine
Untainted by regret. Let me drink,
Health and happiness to all,
And pass.
