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!

Seestück
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Nachtdunklem Wolken gleicht wohl ihr Haar, Zwiefachen Flammen ihr Augenpaar, Strahlend und klar. Ach, wie die Lüfte des Atems mit weichen Schwingen die glänzenden Klippen gleichen Schultern umstreichen! Dort, wo der Strand der Spitzentracht liegt, Ach, wie der schaumweise Busen sich wiegt, Leise geschmiegt! Erklänge gleich doch schmelzend und weich, Betörend und mild, Hin zu sich ziehend, von Zärtlichkeit Glühend, der Nixe Gesang!
