Over movement III there is a text in the score:
I en grönskande trädgård stod en gammal solvisare. På dess fotstycke vore ristade orden: Det är senare än du tror.
In einem blühenden Garten stand eine alte Sonnenuhr. Auf dem Fußstück derselben waren die Worte gemeißelt: Es ist später, als du glaubst.
