The hot sun stooped, his eager thirst to slake;
I trembled for the trembling little lake.
I thought to see it shrivel in his clutch;
But lo! it bloomed with lilies at his touch.
Fear not, sweet saint, by joy to be undone;
Peace comes with joy, like lilies with the sun.
I trembled for the trembling little lake.

Fear not, sweet saint, by joy to be undone;
Peace comes with joy, like lilies with the sun.
