You that lie with wasted lungs
Waiting for your summons . . .
In the night, O the night!
O the deathwatch beating!

v.
There will come a witness soon
Hard to be confuted,
All the world will hear a voice
Scream you are polluted . . .
In the night! O the night,
When the owls are wailing!

vi.
Shame and marriage, Shame and marriage,
Fright and foul dissembling,
