[Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten gik nede og blæste på Lur. "Hvi blæser du altid, ti stille, du Små, det hæfter min Tanke, som vide vil gå nu, når Sol går ned." [Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten lod være at blæse på Lur. "Hvi tier du stille, blæs mere, du Små, det løfter min Tanke, som vide vil gå, nu, når Sol går ned." [Prinsessen sad højt]1 i sit Jomfrubur, Smågutten tog atter og blæste på Lur. Da græd hun i Aftnen og sukkede ud: "O sig mig, hvad er det mig fejler, min Gud!" Nu gik Solen ned.
