Det Overstaaede
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Ak, det var en tung Forfatning, Som vi dengang leved i, Og vi tog en from Beslutning - Gudskelov, det er forbi! Jeg, at ikke elske hende, Hun, at ikke elske mig, Og med Angst, det Gud skal kjende, Vogtede enhver paa sig. Som to Draaber Dug, der glide Paa en Flade glat og jevn - Som to Øielaag, der stride Bittert med den søde Søvn.

Det öfverståndna
Language: Swedish (Svenska) after the Danish (Dansk)
Ack, det var dock tunga tider, som vi den gång lefde i, men ett fromt beslut vi togo gudskelof, det är förbi! jag, att icke älska henne, hon, att icke älska mig, och hur ångestfullt vi tvänne vaktade enhvar på sig... likt två droppar dagg, som glida fram på samma blanka qvist, likt två ögonlock, som strida bittert emot sömnens list.
