На алмазном покрове снегов, Под холодным сияньем Луны, Хорошо нам с тобой! Без улыбки, без слов, Обитатели призрачной светлой страны, Погрузились мы в море загадочных снов, В царстве бледной Луны. Как отрадно в глубокий полуночный час На мгновенье все скорби по-детски забыть, И, забыв, что любовь невозможна для нас, Как отрадно мечтать и любить, Без улыбки, без слов, Средь ночной тишины, В царстве чистых снегов, В царстве бледной Луны.

Hvor i Sne Diamantblomsten groer
under Nordlysets flimrende Spil,
gaa vi ene, vi to, uden Smil, uden Ord,
mod en Verden, hvor legemligt intet er til,
men hvor Frosten baldyrer paa Rimtaageflor
alt, hvad Hjertet kun ønske sig vil.
Godt at luttres i Favn af den isnende Nat,
Sneens hellige Skjær bliver vort;
fri for Pletter, den urene Verden har sat,
glide tyst vi som Stjerneskud bort
uden Smil, uden Ord,
uden Dødskamp og Ve over
sølverhvid Jord
over maaneblank Sne.
Confirmed with Thor Lange, Nocturner: Folkeviser og andre Vers, Kjøbenhavn, Gyldendalske Boghandels Forlag, 1897, page 8.
