Now
is the time to harvest your deeds
Now its time to pray
Bring your treasures from the weeds
Worship the blossom among the hay
Soon is the time of spring
Anchor away the riverboat
Captain! Give the bell a ring!
Later
in the autumn mist
Then is the time to pray
When your cherries are all triste
Repent your pleasures of golden days.
That’s the time of peace
Fetch your sack of deeds and bow
Graciously repay you dues and fees
Thus, this is the time to pay.
