You withered the fruitless tree

“Discordia!” The vinedresser sings

An untimely harvest, sweet patience my plea

-

My soil-bed unkempt, You can see

Roots buried deep in loose soil I cling

You the withered the fruitless tree

-

With death in this moment from sin I am free

Yet this drying, pulling, uprooting does sting

An untimely harvest, sweet patience my plea

-

Command me now and I’ll fall to my knee

Chrysanthemums, poetic lexicon, what can I bring?

You withered the fruitless tree

-

I hear there is still a crown by the lee

Worn by a lamb, shepherd, servant and King

An untimely harvest, sweet patience my plea

-

Shadows lengthen, diffused light covers me

Respirations deepen in this my awakening

You withered the fruitless tree

An untimely harvest, sweet patience my plea
