by Henry (Richard Charles) Somerset, Lord (1849 - 1932)
Translation possibly by Johan Lunde
One more glimpse of the sun
Language: English
One more glimpse of the sun, One more breath trom the sea, One more kiss from my darling one -- Then, Death, come speedily! One more smile from my sweet, One more clasp of a hand, One more sound of returning feet -- Then come, that Better Land! One more passionate prayer To Christ, that He shall be My Guide as I climb the Golden Stair -- Then come, Eternity!

Endnu et Streif kun af Sol
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) after the English
Endnu et Streif kun af Sol, Endnu en Luftning fra Hav. Endnu et Smil fra min Kjærlighed, Kom saa, Død, kom hastelig! Endnu et Blik fra min Ven, Endnu et Tryk af hans Haand, Endnu en Lyd af de kjendte Trin! Kom saa, kom, du bedre Land! Endnu en inderlig Bøn Til Kristus at han mig føre vil, Mens jeg vandrer op ad den gyldne Sti, Kom saa, kom, o, Evighed!
