O, lad ei svinde
Timen unyttet bort!
Nornerne spinde,
Tvundet af Rødt og Sort,
Livstraaden alt for kort, -
Lad den ei svinde!
 
Elskede, Kjære!
Kom til mit stille Bryst;
Jeg vil jo bære
Dig og din Sorg og Lyst,
Hviil i min Arm saa tyst, -
Elskede, Kjære!
 
Smykker den blanke,
Levende Ædelsteen,
Taaren, min ranke,
Duftende Rosengreen?
Ak, hver din Taare reen
Blier mig en Tanke.
 
Yndigste Lilie!
Fyldig og blid og øm!
Er det din Villie,
Seile vi Livets Strøm,
Drømme den samme Drøm,
Yndigste Lilie!
 
Lad da ei svinde
Timen uændset bort;
Nornerne spinde,
Tvundet af Rødt og Sort,
Livstraaden alt for kort, -
O, min Veninde!
