When world and fate , Conspire to mark, Your life with lines, And characters dark, Mold a tablet, Of earth or clay, Write on it all, You would cast away---All your regret, All that you bear, All that afflicts you, All that you fear--Break it and bury it,In the ground , SAying this charm to heal the wound, Sorrow be dust And dust dissolve:Let all my grief go into this grave.
When deadly frost has touched the ground.And turned its fertile flesh to bone,You may bring it to life again. Break the soil and spade it fine,Gather it,pot it,take it in.To soften it by the fires flame:Annoint it with fresh water then,Breathe its its breath, and name its name: Spirit of Earth ,Arise and live , I break the frost and open thy grave.
