English text

The stars of the night arise, they shew their heads of fire through the flying mist of heaven. Still on the misty heath arose in my ear the tuneful voice of Carill.
He sang of the companions of our youth and the days of former years when we met in the hall and sent round the joy of the shell.
Oh, that thou would'st come when I am alone by night, O Carill.
Let the beams of our fame arise in the song of victory and be a light to ther days.
