Den sorte vin på den gamle kro . . . Løvet er faldt. Så falder mit gamle hjerte til ro. En ny vår vil komme. Dig gjorde vinen ikke rød. Løvet er faldt. Jeg syntes, jeg sat og drak min død. En ny vår vil komme. Der sat vi og visste og så, hvad del gjaldt. Løvet er faldt. Og vovet intet og tabte alt. En ny vår vil komme. A new spring will come. Det flammer av sol i den brede allé. Løvet er faldt. Og os kan det være det samme med. En ny vår vil komme.
