The land knows you, even when you are lost.
\nIt does not forget, and neither does it forgive.
\nDo not abandon it, even at great cost.<\/p>\n
When winter comes with brutal frost
\nYou are challenged to persevere and survive.
\nThe land knows you, even when you are lost.<\/p>\n
And when spring arrives, great rivers to be crossed,
\nThe land will give what it has to give.
\nDo not abandon it, even at great cost.<\/p>\n
But summer – summer! with banners embossed
\nThat rambles and provides for all things festive –
\nThe land knows you, even when you are lost.<\/p>\n
Autumn, of the harvest, demands you accost
\nAll that’s held you back and kept you passive.
\nDo not abandon it, even at great cost.<\/p>\n
Do not believe that the land will never exhaust.
\nIt knows how much it takes to live.
\nThe land knows you, even when you are lost.
\nDo not abandon it, even at great cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
