Lärkians sång är icke lång
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Lärkians sång är icke lång, när regn och storm henne tvingar. 
När solen skin, haver hon sin sång, hon lättar fast upp sina vingar. 
Gud give, all sorg kunde snart vändas i glädje.

Av alla fåglars art och natur ser man, när väder vankar; 
te sitta sorgfulla uti sin bur och hava bedrövlige tankar. 
Gud give, all sorg kunde snart vändas i glädje.

Rätt så, när lyckan vänder sin gång och gömmer sitt ansikte blida, 
så måste människan lida stor tvång och högelig sucka och kvida. 
Gud give, all sorg kunde snart vändas i glädje.
