Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Our translations: ENG FRE SPA

Alle de duggvaate blomster har sennt
Solen det sisste Godnat.
Sanktehansormen sin lykte har tennt,
sitter og lyser i krat.
Sommerfugl tat sine duggsokker paa
lagt sig til hvile i klokken den blaa
drømmer saa deilig om solen,
drømmer om duft af fiolen.

In the evening

Language: English after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

All the dew-damp flowers have sent
To the sun their last “Good night.”
The glow-worm lights her lantern,
sits and illuminates the hollow.
[The] butterfly puts on his socks of dew
settling to rest on the bluebell
Dreaming so deliciously about the sun,
Dreaming of the smell of violets.
