De sidste gæster
vi fulgte til grinden;
farvellets rester
tog nattevinden.
I tifold öde
lå haven og huset,
Hvor toner söde
Mig nys berused.
Det var en fest kun
för natten den sorte;
Hun var en gæst kun, --
og nu er hun borte.

Partie !
Language: French (Français)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nous avons accompagné
les derniers hôtes à la grille ;
le vent de la nuit emporta
les bribes des au revoir.
La solitude était décuplée
sur la mer et dans la maison
où de doux échos
m'avaient tantôt grisé.
Ce n'était qu'une fête
avant la nuit noire ;
Elle n'était qu'une invitée,
et maintenant elle est loin.
