All I seek, the heaven above
Or let autumn fall on me
  Nor a friend to know me;
Let the blow fall soon or late,
  Not to winter even!
Wealth I ask not, hope, nor love,
  And the road before me.
  Nor a friend to know me.
  Let the lave go by me,
  Where afield I linger,
Bed in the bush with stars to see,
  Let what will be o'er me;
  And the road before me.
Give to me the life I love,
Silencing the bird on tree,
  Warm the fireside haven --
  And the byway nigh me.
  Bread I dip in the river --
Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
Give the jolly heaven above
  There's the life for ever.
White as meal the frosty field --
  Biting the blue finger;
There's the life for a man like me,
Give the face of earth around,
Let the blow fall soon or late,
Give the face of earth around
All I ask, the heaven above
  Let what will be o'er me;
  And the road below me.
Not to autumn will I yield,
  And the road below me.
