"En pura avko ri naĝas.
La belegon de riaj kruroj,
kiuj tondile movas,
mirige mi rigardas.

Kiam mi rin sekvas,
ne vidas ri min.
Post arbo, kie mi kaŝas,
bruligas la flamo min.

Ĉar fajro kaj akvo
kune ne restas,
mi arde staras
ĝis la korpo ne estas.

La nigra cindro ĵus altiĝis.
Nune ri fine min vidis."
