Svømmende Skyer, dejlige Cyclader

Svømmende Skyer, dejlige Cyclader,
Roser, der vugges paa Lufthavets Bryst,
Stænkede af Sphærers tonende Cascader,
Sollyset skummende mod Eders Kyst,
I alene ere
Værdige at bære
Navnet af Asalis lykkelige Land.
 
Der skal hun throne, drømmende sig hvile
Der skal jeg knæle tavs hos hende ned,
Der skal jeg glemme, mens I fremad ile,
Livet og Verden, Gud og Evighed;
Et mig kun skal fylde
Løfte og fortrylle,
Elskovs Evangelium i Asalis Navn.

Coucher de soleil

Nuages flottants, délicieuses Cyclades,
Des roses, bercées dans les bras de la brise de mer,
Bruissantes cascades des sphères éclaboussant,
Lumière du soleil moussant sur vos côtes,
Vous êtes les seuls
Dignes de porter
Le nom de l'heureux pays d'Asali.

Elle y trônera, s'y reposera en rêvant,
Je m'y agenouillerai en silence devant elle,
J'oublierai, tandis que vous courrez plus avant,
La vie et le monde, Dieu et l'éternité ;
Une seule chose pourra me combler,
M'élever et m'enchanter,
L'évangile d'amour au nom d'Asali.
