R: Reservoir of life, who can measure it?

O: Only the brown soil can taste and see it

O: Openly, the dirt displays the Vine’s work

T: That shimmers with glory in the Spring sun

S: Such mysteries that lie beneath our feet

A: All human thought cannot comprehend them

N: Never-ending depths too deep for poets

D: Down where our eyes cannot see its beauty

B: But we stand in awe of its brilliance

R: Revealed by passionate messengers who,

A: After many winters, now bear much fruit

N: Never breaking away from their Master

C: Choosing the Vine over consuming fire

H: Holding fast even through the stormy gale

E: Every branch found in the Vine finds their life

S: So do all that He upholds with His hand
