Klar som guld
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Klar som guld står horisontens rand under en himmel, tung av vilande moln. Klar som guld drar den sin fasta ring runt ett hav av mörknande dyningar rört. Gråa, tunga vatten och luft och moln; klar som guldhimlens yttersta rand. Havet sorlar... Kvällens svartnade skär tecknas i sot mot en synrand - klar som guld.

Rein wie Gold
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Rein wie Gold des Horizontes Rand unter dem Himmel, schwer von stillem Gewölk. Rein wie Gold zieht er den festen Ring um ein Meer von dunkelnder Dünung bewegt. Graue, schwere Wasser, Gewölk und Luft; rein wie Gold des Himmels äusserster Rand. Meeresrauschen... des Abends Schären so schwarz stehen im Dunkel gegen den Horizont - rein wie Gold.
