Liten gosse 
smyckades nyss
med rosor, syrener, klenoder,
darrgräs och mossa. 
Aldrig med kyss
väcks han mer af sin moder.

Sprang från klippan 
från systern sin,
vill ej lyssna på kältet.
Lingonet, sippan 
fresta hans sinn,
dem han sett i från fältet.

Liten gosse 
föll mot en sten,
störtade utför kullen.
Rosor och mossa 
täcker hans ben,
där han sover i mullen.
