A study in symbols
 (Sung text for setting by C. Jacobs-Bond)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
From blue to red, from red to gold, from gold to gray -
So turns the sky; so fades the light, so ends the day.
From ease to strife, from strife to pain, from pain to peace -
So life shall wane, So grief decline, so toil shall cease.
