"Sungguh pedagog tua yang periang, dulu, Tinggi dan ramping, pucat dan kering; Bentuknya bengkok, dan kiprahnya lambat, rambut tipis panjangnya seputih salju, Tapi binar indah bersinar di matanya. Dan dia bernyanyi setiap malam ketika dia pergi tidur, "Mari kita bahagia di sini di bawah ini: Yang hidup harus hidup, meskipun yang mati mati." Kata pedagog lama yang periang itu."

--- George Arnold

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Twas a jolly old pedagogue, long ago, Tall and slender, and sallow and dry; His form was bent, and his gait was slow, His long thin hair was white as snow, But a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye. And he sang every night as he went to bed, "Let us be happy down here below: The living should live, though the dead be dead." Said the jolly old pedagogue long ago.
