Jeg havde begravet
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Jeg havde begravet min elskov histude ved vestens hav. Og tidlig og silde så sad jeg hos min skatt og våged og vugged. Og så voksed der en nat en lilje frem fra hendes grav. Og der falder nat over vesten hav, og det blir så stilt under himlens telt. Da synger min sjæl, og da nynner mit blod, da synker jeg bedøvet i andagt for din fod og kysser dig, liljehvide jomfru!

Letzter Gruss
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nun war meine Blume verblichen Und schlummerte tief im Grund. Da bin ich zum Grabe geschlichen, Da weint' ich die Augen mir wund. Und es war mir, als riefe Mein Lieb aus der Tiefe: Was weinst Du Geliebter, was grämt Dich so sehr? Was machst Du im Grab mir die Ruhe so schwer? Es wurde zur schwellenden Rose mein Mund, Und wenn Du ihn küssest, so küssest Du mich! Da küsst' ich die Rose, da küsst' ich Dich.
