Rh One is for the North and the star that never sets,

And one is for the East and a faith that fares beyond the stars.

III

Four-walled is my tower:

One wall is for the Spring and for Hope,

One is for Summer and for Love,

One is for Autumn and the Harvest,

One is for Winter and for Waiting.

IV

Four-walled is my tower:

One is for Childhood and the Innocence of Life,

The second is for Youth and the Joy of Life,

The third is for Manhood and the Fullness of Life,

The fourth is for Old Age and the Wisdom of Life.

V

Four-walled is my tower:

A Rock for Strength,

A Hight for Seeing,

A Beacon for the Stranger,

And a Hearth for Friendship.

Four-walled is my tower

On the Hill of Bellosguardo.
