Liv aa Saele
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Tåler du de stærke favntag, at jeg kyrster dig i mine arme fast saa hjertet næsten brister. Tåler du jeg hedt dig kysser, at jeg næsten drar til mig din hele sjæl? Hvor er ordet koldt og dödt! Jeg vil kjende duften af de myge lokker, jeg vil kysse dine öine og din mund, jeg vil slynge begge mine arme om din hals, og få kryste dig saa tæt indtil mig Du mig stryger med de milde hænder ser mig ind i öiet, till jeg segner for din fod, Det allene Saligheden er for mig.
