Korpen sidder på kirkeport skriger så sårt [mod]1 kvæld. Nu er det tomt, og nu er [det]2 tyst over det [vide]3 fjeld. Klokken ringer fra [kirketårn]4 udover øde sletter. På korsene rider de hekse tre og skriger i mørke nætter. De danser over de tuer små og leger med dødmands ben. Så ler de høit i den tause kvæld og hopper på gravenes sten. Og korpen sidder på kirkeport, og klokken den ringer mod kvæld. Men ingen færdes vel længere nu over det ødslige fjeld. -

Le corbeau se tient sur le portail de l'église il pousse des cris perçants dans le soir. C'est l'heure où sur le [vaste champ]1 tout est vide, tout est silencieux. La cloche sonne au clocher de l'église au-dessus des plaines désertes. Trois sorcières chevauchent des croix et crient dans la nuit obscure. Elles dansent sur les petits tertres et jouent avec des os humains. Puis elles rient aux éclats dans le silence du soir et sautent sur les pierres tombales. Et le corbeau se tient sur le portail de l'église, et la cloche sonne dans le soir. Mais plus personne ne voyage maintenant sur le champ déserté.
1 Sinding : "champ blanc"
