Det stiger, det stiger, det stiger herop; Bækken vandrer mod Fjældet. Det er uhørt Leg; er jeg ældet? o nej, Jeg er fældet paa Vej, Jeg er angst for mit Liv, Kunde dø for min Kniv; Hvor er Kongens Dyveke henne? - Véd ej, kan ej selv hende kende. De hvisler omkring mig som Snoge, Maa lukke mine Øjenlaage; De trykker min Haand, Jeg tør ej, jeg véd - Jeg er angst, jeg er hed, Jeg er træt af mig selv, af min Leg er jeg led; Jeg er ræddelig stedt i den bitreste Nød. Jesus Maria, hvem der var død!

Il monte, il monte, il monte là ; Le ruisseau remonte vers la montagne C'est un jeu inouï ; ai-je vieilli ? Ô non, Je suis piégée sur le chemin, J'ai peur pour ma vie, Je pourrais mourir pour mon couteau ; Où est passée la Dyveke du roi ? Je ne sais si je puis même la reconnaître. On siffle autour de moi comme des couleuvres, Je dois fermer mes paupières ; On me serre la main, Je n'ose pas, je sais, J'ai peur, je suis brûlante, Je suis fatiguée de moi-même, dégoûtée de mon jeu ; Je crains d'être dans la plus cruelle détresse. Jésus Marie, je voudrais être morte !
