Har dagen sanket al sin sorg

Har dagen sanket al sin sorg
og graedt den ud i dug,
saa aabner natten himlens borg
med evigt tungsinds tavse sorg.
Og en for en
og to for to
gaa fjerne verdeners genier frem
af himmeldybets dunkle gem.
Og hoejt over jordens lyst og elende
med stjernekjerter hoejt i haende
skride de langsomt hen over himlen.
De fodtrin skifte
med sorg i sinde.
Underligt vifte
for rummets kolde vinde
stjernekjerternes flakkende flammer.

Le jour a rassemblé tout son chagrin

Le jour a rassemblé tout son chagrin
Et l'a pleuré en rosée,
Puis la nuit a ouvert le château du ciel
Avec le chagrin discret d'une éternelle mélancolie.
Et un par un
Et deux par deux
Les génies de mondes lointains sortent
Des sombres profondeurs du ciel.
Et au-dessus des plaisirs et des misères terrestres,
Portant haut le flambeau des étoiles,
Ils passent lentement dans le ciel.
Ils se succèdent 
Avec le cœur lourd.
Étrangement, 
Le vent froid de l'espace
Fait vaciller les flammes errantes des étoiles.
