Sleep, my young love,

outside the rain is weeping.
Mommy keeps your treasures,
old bones and a wooden case.
We shall not stay awake through dim nights.

There is much that darkness knows,

my mind is heavy.
Often I have seen the black sand
burning the green meadow.
In the glacier rumble death deep cracks.

Sleep long, sleep peacefully,

late is best to wake up
hardship will teach you soon,
while the day decays quickly,
that the men love, lose, cry and mourn.
