Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHIJKL MNOPKQ RSOTUV UOWXYZ A2A2B2C2QD2| I wake Yes it's a coffin lid With effort | A |
| I reach my hands out and I call | B |
| For help Yes I recall the tortures | C |
| Of dying Yes this is no dream | D |
| And without effort like a spider web | E |
| I push aside my casket's rotting wood | F |
| - | |
| And stand How bright the winter light appears | G |
| In the crypt's doorway Can I doubt it | H |
| I see the snow The crypt's without a door | I |
| It's time to head for home How stunned they'll be | J |
| I know this park I cannot lose my way | K |
| But oh how different it looks now | L |
| - | |
| I hurry Snowdrifts Frigid boughs | M |
| Of dead trees poke deep into the sky | N |
| There are no tracks or sounds It's still | O |
| The realm of death in an enchanted world | P |
| And here's my home But what decay | K |
| I'm shocked by this heartbreaking sight | Q |
| - | |
| The village sleeps beneath a snowy blanket | R |
| There is no path in all the boundless steppe | S |
| Yes there it is upon a far off hill | O |
| I see the ancient belfry of the church | T |
| A frozen traveler in the whirling snow | U |
| It stands out clear against the cloudless span | V |
| - | |
| No winter birds or midges dot the snow | U |
| I understand the earth has long lain chill | O |
| And dead For whom do I conserve | W |
| The breath within my chest To whom did death | X |
| Return me What's my mind | Y |
| Connected to And what's its final purpose | Z |
| - | |
| Where shall I go if there is no one to embrace | A2 |
| And time has lost itself in space | A2 |
| O Death return And hasten to assume | B2 |
| The fatal burden of this final life | C2 |
| And you stiff corpse of earth take flight | Q |
| And bear my corpse on the eternal path | D2 |
