Du var mig mera nära
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Du var mig mera nära
än lycka till sin graf,
än tomhet är till ära,
än tiggaren sin staf.
Du var mig mera nära
än solen blomman är,
än den som måste bära
till bördan, som han bär.
Du var mig mera nära
än kärleken sin bikt;
du var min ljusa, skära
försvunna vår dags dikt.

Tu étais plus près de moi
Language: French (Français) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Tu étais plus près de moi
que le bonheur de sa tombe,
que la vacuité de l'honneur,
que le mendiant de son bâton.
Tu étais plus près de moi
que le soleil de la fleur,
que celui qui doit porter,
du fardeau qu'il porte.
Tu étais plus près de moi
que l'amour de son aveu ;
tu étais ma lumière, pure
disparue du poème de nos jours.
