Borte
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
De sidste gæster vi fulgte til grinden; farvellets rester tog nattevinden. I tifold öde lå haven og huset, Hvor toner söde Mig nys berused. Det var en fest kun för natten den sorte; Hun var en gæst kun, -- og nu er hun borte.

Verschwunden
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Die letzten Gäste wir brachten zur Pforte; im Wind noch Reste vom Abschiedsworte. Nur tiefe Stille, wo rings man auch lauschet, wo tönende Fülle mich jüngst berauschet. Fest war es fast nur vor nächtlichen Stunden! Sie war ein Gast nur, nun ist sie verschwunden!
