Sig, husker du i Sommer,
hvor her vi vandred tidt?
Hvert Blad var grønt som Håbet,
hvert Vinddrag solskinsblidt.
Nu Løvet suser falmet
henover blomstløs Jord,
Og i de nøgne Grene
højt sukker Stormens Kor.
Ak, var det blot Naturen,
som kold sig svøbte ind,
Men du, min Ven, du også
som den har skiftet Sind!

Sur un sentier forestier
Language: French (Français)  after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Dis, te rappelles-tu cet été
où nous nous promenions côte à côte ?
Chaque feuille avait le vert de l'espoir,
chaque souffle de vent, la douceur du soleil.
Aujourd'hui les feuilles mortes bruissent
sur la terre sans fleurs,
et dans les branches dénudées
soupire le chœur des tempêtes.
Hélas, ce n'était pas seulement la nature
qui insinuait cette froideur,
Mais toi aussi, mon ami,
ton cœur a changé !
