Sent iaften, naar du kommer, Springer hele skoven ud. Staar saa blosterhvid og festlig, Venter bare paa at se dig. Naar du kommer sent iaften, Kørende opad alléen Er du kanske træt, min elskte, Derfor tier alle fugle, Derfor tysner alle bække, Derfor mørkner det i skoven. Kun to lys hist indfra huset Hilser stille dig velkommen.
Confirmed with Vilhelm Krag, Nye Digte, Kristiania, H. Aschehough & Co.s Forlag, 1897, pages 41-42.

Quand tu viens, tard le soir, la forêt toute entière s’éveille. Elle se dresse alors, blanche de fleurs et festive, N'attendant plus que de te voir. Quand tu viens, tard le soir, Remontant l'allée dans ta voiture, Tu es peut-être fatiguée, mon amour C'est pourquoi tous les oiseaux se taisent, C'est pourquoi tous les ruisseaux s'apaisent, C'est pourquoi la forêt s'assombrit. Seules deux lumières, là-bas, dans la maison, T'accueillent silencieusement.
