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 come to this earth
Not been suckled for the world
If I'd died a three-night-old
Been lost in my swaddling band
I'd have needed but a span of cloth
A span more of wood,
But a cubi of good earth
Two words from the priest
Three verses from the cantor
One clang from the bell
