Though the root thereof wax old in the earth,\par\tab And the stock thereof die in the ground;
Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit.
Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is {\i as} the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.\par
For there is hope of a tree,\par\tab If it be cut down, that it will sprout again,\par\tab And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud,\par\tab And put forth boughs like a plant.
