Den ljusa nattens ljusa fågeldrillar min sorg förvillar, min sorg vill sova, men får ingen fred. Men varför blir då inte sorgen bitter av trädens kvitter, min sorg, min sorg, säg, varför blir du inte vred? Den ljusa nattens ljusa fågeldrillar all ångest stillar, och skyggt och sakta sjunger sorgen med.
