Nu farer en Höst over Herrens Jord;
sollöse, susende Dage,
Liv som gaves tages tilbage,
alting forgaar i Forgængelsens Kor.
Men Mennesket lever saa lange.

Nu sankes i Lade og samles i Hus,
Græset höstes og Kornet skæres
Lövet falder, altsammens fortæres,
segner tilbage i Dödens Brus
Men Mennesket lever saa længe.

Extrait de poèmes fiévreux

Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)

À présent un automne arrive sur la terre du Seigneur ;
des jours sans soleil et bruissants.
La vie qui fut donnée est reprise,
tout disparaît dans le chœur du périssable.
Mais l'homme vit si longtemps.

On entasse dans les granges et on se rassemble dans les maisons,
Le foin est fauché et le blé coupé.
Les feuilles tombent, tout est consumé
et s’affaisse dans le tumulte de la mort,
Mais l’Homme vit si longtemps.
