På Skogstien
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Sig, husker du i Sommer, hvor her vi vandred tidt? Hvert Blad var grønt som Håbet, hvert Vinddrag solskinsblidt. Nu Løvet suser falmet henover blomstløs Jord, Og i de nøgne Grene højt sukker Stormens Kor. Ak, var det blot Naturen, som kold sig svøbte ind, Men du, min Ven, du også som den har skiftet Sind!

Herbststimmung
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Wie waren deine Bäume, o Wald so frisch belaubt, als noch an meine Träume von Liebe ich geglaubt! Jetzt welkten deine Blätter, fahl ward dein grünes Laub, ein erstes Sturmeswetter wirft es hinab in Staub. Ich wollt es wohl verschmerzen, daß du dich, Wald, verfärbst, wär nicht in meinem Herzen es auch geworden Herbst.
From a Grieg score.
