I'm not in earth, nor the sun,

nor the moon.

You may search all the sky -

I'm not there.

In the morning and evening -

though not at noon -

You may plainly perceive me,

for like a balloon,

I am suspended in air.

Though disease may possess me,

and sickness and pain,

I am never in sorrow nor gloom;

Though in wit and wisdom

I equally reign

I am the heart of all sin and have

long lived in vain;

Yet I ne'er shall be found in the tomb.
