Put your faith in salt and time
and trust that pickles will result;
Put your faith in time and salt.
Put your faith in time and salt –
Age gives heft to more than wine –
Put your faith in salt and time.
In time and salt put all your trust
– the salt and sour will keep it safe –
time and salt deserve your faith.
In time and salt put all your faith
discard the failures when you must
but keep your faith, and time, and trust.
