文本歌词

Better it would be for me
And better it would have been
Had I not been born not grown
Not been brought into the world
Not had to come to this earth
Not been suckled for the world
If I'd died a three night old
Been lost in my swaddling hand
I'd have needed but a span of doth
A span more of wood
But a cubit of goof earth
Two words from the priest
Three verses from the cantor
One clang from the bell
