| From a thirst as keen as mine | B |

| Then I sat down with weariness | D |
| And asked a bit of bread | E |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| And never a word he said | E |

| With stifled cries of sharp surprise | H |
| At all the light and din | G |

| Since there is neither food nor rest | J |
| I go where I fared before | K |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| And barred the outer door | K |
