Auf einen Todtenacker Hat mich mein Weg gebracht. Allhier will ich einkehren: Hab' ich bei mir gedacht. Ihr grünen Todtenkränze Könnt wohl die Zeichen sein, Die müde Wandrer laden In's kühle Wirthshaus ein. Sind denn in diesem Hause Die Kammern all' besetzt? Bin matt zum Niedersinken, [Und]1 tödtlich schwer verletzt. O unbarmherz'ge Schenke, Doch weisest du mich ab? Nun weiter denn, nur weiter, Mein treuer Wanderstab!

It paad dat ik no rûn haw, kaam bij in tsjerkhôf út; dêr wol 'k in sliepplak sykje, sa naam ik myn beslút. De blommen en de krânsen dy 't bij de grêven stean', sill' wurge swalkers noegje, de herberch yn te gean. Mar bin yn dizze herberch de keamers al fersein? 'k Bin wurch, 'k bin út 'e liken; bin wierlik skjin tenein. O, ûnbarmhertich gasthûs, wiist do mij hjir no ôf? Dan fierder, dochs wêr fierder, myn trouwe gongelstôk!
