by Vilhelm Krag (1871 - 1933)

Jeg træder de Perler 
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Jeg træder de perler blanke
sammen med varsom hånd.
Jeg slynger om halsen den slanke
et tungttvundet perlebånd.

Jeg sætter en ring på din finger,
en ring, der skal skinne som ild:
en solstråle, gylden og klinger,
krummer jeg sammen dertil.

Et purpurrødt tæppe jeg spreder
fremfor din fine fod:
som brusende silke sig breder
mit dampende hjerteblod.

Jeg sidder ved floden og græder
og binder dit perlebånd.
Og natduggens perler jeg træder
med skjælvende, varsom hånd.
