Den blomstrende Sommer blev kædet til Høst, Til Død, hvad der var ilive. Sorg skal følge paa Lyst, Stille, Du bankende Bryst! Kun de evige Love skal blive. Venner, ræk Haand over Graven hen; Den Døde kommer ej mer igen, Men Aanden taler fra Rummet, Naar Læben her er forstummet. Den taler os til i en ensom Stund, Naar Tanken erindringsfuld knæler; Bud da bringer en Mund, Tysser os Smærten i Blund Og med Billeder Drømmen besjæler. Venner, den Drøm svinder aldrig hen; Et Billed stiger bestandig igen Fra Skønheds-Andagten inde: En Drøm om en dejlig Kvinde.
P. Heise sets stanza 1

L'été florissant laissa enchaîné à l'automne Jusqu'à la mort, ce qui était en vie. Le chagrin doit suivre le bonheur, Fais silence, cœur palpitant ! Seule demeurera la loi éternelle. Amis, tendez la main sur la tombe ; Les morts ne reviennent jamais plus, Mais l'esprit parle du ciel Quand ici-bas les lèvres se sont tues. Ils nous parlent aux heures de solitude, Quand, pleine de souvenir, la pensée s'agenouille ; Une bouche apporte alors un message, Fait taire et endort nos douleurs Et des images animent alors nos rêves. Amis, le rêve jamais ne disparaît ; Une image monte encore continuellement du cœur de la dévotion à la beauté : Un rêve sur une femme charmante.
