| Since many days the tribute of a song | B |
| Shall I cheat you who never did a wrong | B |
| To any man No therefore though I miss | A |
| All art all skill in this short armistice | C |
| From my soul's war against the bitter throng | B |
| Of present woes let these poor lines be strong | B |

| And loving you He sent His Son like Death | E |
| To put His hand over your kind gray eyes | F |
