Klara skola människornas ögon vara. Stilla skola de lysa i lyckans lilla korta minut, innan lyckans lilla spegla dagar och moln som segla blå eller vintergrå, låga av li voch våga visa sin lust att prisa, harmas, läka, lena de armas kval med ett ögas milda tal - brista lätt I det sista. Så skall livet gå.
