Du Blomst i Dug! Du Blomst i Dug! Hvisk mig Drømmene dine: Er der i dem den samme Luft, Den samme sælsomme Elverlandsduft Som i mine? Og hvisker, sukker og klager det dèr Gennem døende Duft og blundende Skær, gennem vågende Klang, gennem spirende Sang: I Længsel, I Længsel jeg lever!

Ô fleur couverte de rosée ! Ô fleur couverte de rosée ! Chuchote-moi tes rêves : Y trouve-t-on le même air, Le même parfum étrange du pays des elfes Que dans les miens ? Et y a-t-il là des murmures, des soupirs et des plaintes À travers un parfum qui s'éteint et une lueur somnolente, À travers une résonance éveillée, à travers un chant naissant : Dans le désir, Dans le désir, je vis !
