Hab' ich gen Westen sein Segel hinwehn.
Darf es doch Frithjof auf weiten
Meeren begleiten!

Dich ließ er hier, 
Falke, geliebter, o bleib bei mir; 
Fliegender Jäger, statt seiner 
Wart Ich nun deiner.

 ... 

Falke so schön,
Mir von der Schulter aufs Meer sollst du sehn!
 ... 

Bin ich erst todt,
Kehrt er dann wieder; vernimm mein Gebot:
Grüße mir Frithjof!  Nicht wehren
Wird er den Zähren.

It is autumn now,
The storms of the sea never rest.
 ... 
 ... 

For a long time
I saw his sail blowing away toward the west.
For it may accompany Frithjof upon
The wide oceans.

He left you here,
Beloved falcon, oh stay with me;
Flying hunter, in his stead
I now look after you.

 ... 

Falcon so beautiful,
You shall gaze upon the sea from my shoulder!
 ... 

Once I am dead
He shall return then; hear my command:
Greet Frithjof from me!  He shall not
Hold back his tears.
