When Adam and when Eve left Paradise / Did they love on and cling together still, / Forgiving one another all that ill / The twain had wrought on such a different wise? / She propped upon his strength, and he in guise / Of lover though of lord, girt to fulfil / Their term of life and die when God should will; / Lie down and sleep, and having slept arise. / Boast not against us, O our enemy! / To-day we fall, but we shall rise again; / We grope to-day, to-morrow we shall see: / What is to-day that we should fear to-day? / A morrow cometh which shall sweep away / Thee and thy realm of change and death and pain.
