Als der Soldat den Marktplatz betritt
kommt ihm ein Mann entgegen
ein unheimlicher dunkler Kerl
der lächelt ganz verlegen
Der Soldat erschauert bis ins Mark
erst wird er bleich dann rot
und er zweifelt keinen Augenblick
das da ist der Tod
Dann winkt der Tod ihm auch noch zu
das kann man deutlich sehen
dem Soldaten gelingt es mit letzter Kraft
zu seinem König zu gehen
?Mein König gib mir dein schnellstes Pferd
ich verlier sonst den Verstand
mich sucht der Tod und ich muß fort
weit fort nach Samarkand?
Der König ruft den Tod zu sich
und klagt ihn zornig an:
?Was fällt dir ein was ängstigst dumeinen besten Mann?
Der Tod spricht: ?Nein das liegt mir fern
ich hob doch nur winkend die Hand
weil wir morgen verabredet sind
weit fort
in Samarkand?
