Ihm zu Häupten grünes Gras,
Ihm zu Fuß ein Stein.

Auf seinem Bahrtuch, weiß wie Schnee,--
Viel liebe Blumen trauern;
Sie gehn zu Grabe naß, o weh!
vor Liebesschauern.

Hoe herken ik mijn liefje
Uit  ...  anderen?
Aan zijn mosselhoed en staf
En zijn sandalen?

Hij is dood en lang al weg,
Dood, mijn kind, en heen;
Bij zijn hoofd is nu groen gras,
Bij zijn voet een steen,

‘k Zie op zijn doodskleed, wit als sneeuw, 
Veel lieve bloemen wenen;
Zij gaan naar ’t graf toe, nat - o wee! -
Door liefdesregen.
