   Und kommt er nimmermehr?
     ... 
       Er ist todt, o weh!
       In dein Totbett geh',
    Er kommt dir nimmermehr.
    Sein Bart war weiss wie Schnee,
    Sein Haupt wie Flachs dazu.
       Er ist hin, er ist hin,
       Kein Trauern bringt Gewinn:
    Mit seiner Seele Ruh'!
Und mit allen Christenseelen! darum bet' ich! --
Gott sei mit euch!

Ze droegen hem op de baar, hoofd bloot,
Dromer, ach, dromer, de liefste.
Vele tranen vielen in ’t graf zijn schoot;
Vaarwel, jij, mijn duifje!

En komt hij nimmer meer?
 ... 
Hij is dood, ’t is waar!
Zoek je doodsbed maar,
Hij zoekt jou nimmer meer.
Zijn baard was wit als sneeuw,
Zijn hoofd als vlas daarbij.
Hij is weg, hij is weg,
Houd op met treuren, zeg:
In vrede ruste hij! -
En ook alle christenzielen! Daarom bid ik:
God zij met u!
