3 Tiden, da Husets Vogtere bæver, de stærke Mænd bliver krumme, da Møllepigerne svigter, fordi de er få, og de bliver mørke, som kigger ved Gluggerne,
3 in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;
4 da begge Gadedørene lukkes, mens Møllen går med dæmpet Lyd, da man står op ved Spurvenes Kvidder og alle Sangens Døtre hvisker,
4 and the doors on the street are shut as the sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of the bird, and all the daughters of song will sing softly.
5 da man også ængstes for Bakker, og Rædsler lurer på Vejen, da Mandeltræet blomstrer; Græshoppen slappes og Kapersbærret svigter, nu Mennesket går til sin evige Bolig og Sørgetoget går gennem Gaden,
5 Furthermore, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.
