Eenzaam sterven. Hem niet te aanschouwen, De' eenige, dien ik Naast mij begeer, Wanneer voorgoed de Donkere wereld Schrompelt tot niets meer Dan 't laatste bed. Eenzaam sterven. Ongekend heengaan Naar 't ongekende Uit nood en leed, Zonder de veege Oogen te kunnen Wenden naar waar dit Leven aan hing.
