Med en kyrkrot i min sko Gick jag vid din sida Medan tornets klocka slog Manande och vida. Kära vännen, så söndagsfin, Kyrkroten kunde ej råda. Vilsa gingo vi båda. Gömd i rians svarta mulI Sitter jag och gråter. Sorgens påse östes full, Någon kom ej åter. Tung är röken och muren grå, Grå somm min morgongåva: En vrå att äntligen sova.
