I.
COME the stars and go again,
Rises too and sets the sun;
Thus throughout the universe
Ever changeless changes run.
World round world is still revolving,
Star round star doth ceaseless go;
Thus it was from the beginning,
Thus it will be evermoe.
Round the earth the moon revolveth,
Round the sun both take their road;
Let thy heart move round thy country,
With thy country round thy God!
