Our translations: FRE
Frem under Haarets ravnsorte Sky'r Øjnenes blinkende Tvillingefyr Straaler og flyr. Aandedrags-Luftninger lune og blide Henover Skuldrenes Klipper de hvide Sagtelig glide. Men imod Dragtens Kniplingekyst Svulmende vugges det bølgende Bryst Skumhvidt, men tyst. -- Ak om der lød dog Smeltende blød og Daarende mild, Hen til sig dragende, Kjerlighedsklagende Havfruesang!
