Hva vil du i verden
når folket er fritt?
A v dur er du kommet,
til moll er du blitt,
du synger i stål
om unådde mål.
Du maler i mørket
og tonen er tørket
inn.
En tvetydig tanke
skal knuses i kvernen.
Du dveler ved døden
og sannhetens skygger.
Din menighet rygger
og peker mot solen:
Nå må du lære å le!
Hva vil du i verden
når seiren er klar,
når velstand er vunnet
for faster og far,
for søster og sønn.
De lovet deg lønn
for alt du har skrevet.
Du har ikke levet
før.
Nå feirer de freden
i lavpannet lykke.
Et paradis plystres
i folkelig F-dur.
Din Fiss-moll er blåsur
i søtsuppesangen:
Kom la oss le oss ihjel!
