In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
We remember him;
In the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter,
We remember him;
In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer,
We remember him;
In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
We remember him;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember him;
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember him;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember him;
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember him;
So long as we live, he too shall live,
For he is now a part of us as
We remember him
