Kanske vil der gå både vinter og vår,
og næste sommer med, og det hele år; --
men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg vist;
og jeg skal nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst.

Gud styrke dig hvor du i verden går!
Gud glæde dig, hvis du for hans fodskammel står!
Her skal jeg vente til du kommer igen;
og venter du hist oppe, vi træffes der, min ven!
