Your body lies frozen in the early morning cold
Because no matches you sold
Around you the matches which you did burn
In this cruel world which you has spurned
They said you did it to keep warm
As the old year passed and the new one dawned
But we know of the beautiful sights
And we do know your eternal delight
So your blood is frozen ice
So you leave us to our vice
And now in Heaven you do live
And in your mercy
Your mercy
Your mercy
You forgive
