Solen er til Hvile, den slukte sit Lys; Dagen vil sove. Engene damper, der gaar som et Gys Gennem Gurrevangs Skove. Der sitrer et Minde paa hvert et Blad, Som bøjer sig, tynget af Duggens Bad; I Bunterad, Mens Dampene tættes og skilles ad, Staa Enge og Minder og Skove. Og det løfter sig, suget af Glansen fra oven, Det svulmer som Voven; Det sænker sig ned, Og der fødes et Digt Ved Skovsøens dæmrende Bred.

Le soleil s'est couché, il a éteint sa lumière ; Le jour va dormir, La prairie fume, il y a comme un frisson Qui passe dans la forêt de Gurre. Un souvenir frémit sur chaque feuille, Qui se recourbe, alourdie par la rosée ; Pêle-mêle, Dans les vapeurs qui s'épaississent et se déchirent, Il y a prairies et souvenirs et forêt. Elles se lèvent, aspirées par l'éclat du ciel, Elles ondulent comme des vagues ; Elles refluent vers le sol Et donnent naissance à un poème Sur la rive crépusculaire de la forêt.
