      Jag sörja, jag sörja, jag sörja väl må

      Language: Swedish (Svenska) 

      Jag sörja, jag sörja, jag sörja väl må, ty stjärnorna så kalla på himmelen gå och frusen och kall är kurera världen. samt mänskorna dem kämpa inom drivor samt snö samt vandra samt gå samt förfrysa samt dö, vart vandren inom, vart leder denna färden? De tycka sig titta ljus långt på villande stig, dem skynda, dem tänka för att snart få värma sig och hitta goda vänner i gårde. Och kommer en inom vägen, så slå dem honom ner och domna sedan själva och vakna aldrig mer, I mänskor, varen intet så hårde!
