A Thousand Winters |
| This at least behoves every man |
| That he his soul’s course should heed |
| How awful it will be |
| When death arrives |
| The kinship sunders |
| Those that were together |
| Body and soul |
| Departed from men, the spirit |
| In punishment or glory, death not discern |
| While him here in the world |
| An earth vessel remains |
| The anxious ghost shall come |
| Always after seven nights |
| A soul, to find the body |
| That, from which it had been taken |
| Then shall call so sad |
| With a cold voice |
| The spirit to that dust |
| Words of a soul departed |
| After it, from its body were led |
| «Why hast thou tortured me? |
| Foulness of earth!» |
| «Why dost thou torture me? |
| I art not the food of worms!» |
| «I within thee dwelt and I might not go |
| From, where with flesh |
| I had invested with me |
| Thy sinful lusts oppressed |
| So that to me full oft it seemed |
| That it were a thousand winters |
| To thy death-day.» |
