Tolv arvar Han, da Han stod frem I templet
Tolv ar var Jochanaan, da han dro bort
Til orkenen og kallet som stod I templet
I blikket som var innadvendt og sort
Tolv ar var du, Salome, da du danset
Og da ditt navn ble slynget om profeten
I oyeblikket da musikken stanset -
Og mannen tok deg med til evigheten
(Og dronningen bad gjestene a klappe -)
Ja, tok deg med som om du var en avne
Som hadde festnet I hans doperkappe
Et stro som hadde festnet I hans har!
Slik ble du nesten ett med dopernavnet
Mens andre kongedotres navn forgar
