Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Alverden skal synge din bryllupsdag, og hæggen i lien skal skinne. Og lyset skal bølge i store slag, og vinden ride i ungdomsvildt jag over hver sollys tinde. Du sidder så stille den lyse nat, mens hvide syrener dufte. På blegrøde roser har majnatten bredt sin lyseblå silkekufte. Du græder. Du sidder så hvid og varm. Jeg lægger min kind mod din myge arm. Jeg stryger så varsomt det blonde hår og kysser de blanke øine.
