Den dovne Fjord som gynger og strækker sig i Solen. De smækre, hvider Terner, som dukker sig deri -- Farvel du lille Damper, som piler mig forbi og hils den blonde Dame, som venter dig på Molen. Og sig at hendes Øjne, bedrøvede og ømme, ← les virgules forfølger mig bestandig ! og spørg dem, hvad de vil ! Fortæl mig, om de græder når Skibet lægger til! Og sig dem, at jeg kysser dem tit i mine Drømme.1
Confirmed with Ludvig Holstein, Digte, Det Nordiske Forlag (Ernst Bojesen), København: 1903.
1 Nielsen adds a stanza:
Farvel du lille Damper, som piler mig forbi, og hils den blonde Dame, som venter dig på Molen ! Og sig at hendes Øjne forfølger mig bestandig ! Sig dem at jeg kysser dem tit i mine Drømme !

La crique ondule paresseusement et s'étale au soleil. Des sternes sveltes et blanches s'y plongent -- Au revoir petit vapeur qui file devant moi, et salue la belle dame blonde qui m'attend sur le môle. Et dis-lui que ses yeux, affligés et douloureux, me poursuivront toujours ! Et demande-leur ce qu'elle veut ! Rapporte-moi s'ils ont pleuré lorsque le bateau aborda ! Et dis-leur que je les embrasse souvent dans mes rêves.1
