Līst klusi
Language: Latvian (Latviešu valoda) 
Līst klusi.
Visa debess raud un arīmanim skumji metas, 
Kad bālas garu rokas sviež kā dusmās logā lāses retas.
Kam dusmojies, tu, bēdugars, par mani? 
Vai tu ticēt vari, ka manā trūdu būdiņā mīt laimības un prieka gari, prieka gari?
Es arī raudu klusībā... 
Nāc, bēdugars, pie manis dusi!
Nāc, brālit manā būdiņā, te it kā savās mājās būsi! 
Līst klusi.
Visa debess raud. Man istaba ar skumjām pildās.
Nāk gars iz tumšas padebess auksts,
Nosalis, pie krūts man sildās.
