Kanske vil der gå både vinter og vår, og næste sommer med, og det hele år; -- men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg vist; og jeg skal nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst. Gud styrke dig hvor du i verden går! Gud glæde dig, hvis du for hans fodskammel står! Her skal jeg vente til du kommer igen; og venter du hist oppe, vi træffes der, min ven!

L'hiver peut aller et le printemps et l'été suivant avec, et toute une année, mais un jour tu reviendras, je le sais bien, et j'attendrai, car je l'ai promis. Que Dieu te donne des forces si tu vas dans le monde, Que Dieu te bénisse si tu es à ses pieds J'attendrai ici jusqu'à ce que tu sois près de moi ; et si tu attends en haut, je t'y retrouverai, mon ami !
