Vad är det för fisk
                                                                                                                    som i floden ränner
                                                                                                                    kan sig ej för fara frälsa?
                                                                                                                    Lös du ditt huvud
                                                                                                                    ur Hels våld

                                                                                                                    Oin hette min fader
                                                                                                                     i mången fors

                                                                                                                    En olyckig norna
                                                                                                                     i urtid bestämde
                                                                                                                    att jag skulle
                                                                                                                     i vattnet vada
