| | | THE FIRE is nearly out, | |
| The lamp is nearly out. | |
| The room is untidy after the long day. | |
| I am here, unhappy, | |
| Longing to leave the hearth, | 5 |
| Longing to escape from the home. | |
| The others are asleep, | |
| But I am here, unhappy. | |
| The fire is nearly out, | |
| The lamp is nearly out. | 10 | | | |
