thou creature of joy and light
ere so keen to pursue the sun
oh thou, leaper and lover
hast leapt once too far, I fear
thou, child of the frigid woods
sought so for warmth as such thou sharedst
yearned so for love as such thou gavest
now rests as oft in my arms thou hast
thou leavest me now to grieve
as grieve one must when thou one has lost
