Nu brister i alle de Kløfter,
  som [fured og sprængte]1 mit Sind,
  Alverdens fagreste Blomster
  for Sommerens sagte Vind.
 
Thi to, som elsker hinanden,
  kan [volde]2 hinanden mer' ondt
  end alle de argeste Fjender,
  som hævner sig Jorden rundt;
 
og to, som elsker hinanden,
  kan læge de ondeste Saar
  blot ved at se paa hinanden
  og glatte hinandens Haar.
