“You would not search the woodside gay To pick a springtime flower When all the shuddering country groans Before the North Wind's power. Nor would you seek with greedy hand To pluck your vines in May; The wine god gives his gift of grapes When Autumn's on the way. For God has fixed the season's tasks And each receives its own: No power is free to disarray The order God has shown.” — Boethius
You would not search the woodside gay
To pick a springtime flower
When all the shuddering country groans
Before the North Wind's power.
Nor would you seek with greedy hand
To pluck your vines in May;
The wine god gives his gift of grapes
When Autumn's on the way.
For God has fixed the season's tasks
And each receives its own:
No power is free to disarray
The order God has shown.
