Du Blomst i Dug!
Du Blomst i Dug!
Hvisk mig Drømmene dine:
Er der i dem den samme Luft,
Den samme sælsomme Elverlandsduft
Som i mine?
Og hvisker, sukker og klager det dèr
Gennem døende Duft og blundende Skær,
gennem vågende Klang, gennem spirende Sang:
I Længsel,
I Længsel jeg lever!

You flower in dew; you flower in dew!
Whisper me your dreams.
Is there in them the same air,
The same strange elf-land air
As in mine?
And whisper, sigh or complain
This through dying fragrance
or dozing glare,
Through awakening sound,
Through budding song:
The longing, the longing I live.
