Sanningen med livet er doden
Ljuga allt annat for dig kan
Och I den djupaste noden
Du livsgnistan aldrig mer fann

Ensam jag slutet kommer att mota
Sisom jag ensam hittills varit
Livet pi mitt hjerta skall nota

[Translation:]

The truth in life is death
Everything else for you can lie
And in the deepest distress
The sparkle of life you never found again

The end I will face alone
Like I alone have been until now
Life on my heart shall wear
Until I have traveled enough on the sea of life
