by Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)

Borte
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
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.
