by Henry David Inglis (1795 - 1835), as Derwent Conway
Translation by Henrik Arnold Wergeland (1808 - 1845)

Ved Sjøen den mørke
 (Sung text for setting by H. Kjerulf)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)  after the English 
Ved Sjøen, den mørke, bekrandset af Tallen,
Du møde mig, fagreste Gjente i Dalen!

Naar Stjernerne vaage, naar Skogene drømme . .
naar Oteren lister sig ud for at svømme . .

Naar Alting, undtagen dit Øie, som funkler
saa nødbrunt og venligt, mod Qvellen sig dunkler.

Da, Gjentami', mød mig ved furukrandst' Vove,
naar Stjernerne vaage og Skogene sove!

 ...
