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.

Le monde entier chantera le jour de tes noces et sur le coteau le merisier brillera. Et la lumière palpitera à grands coups, et le vent avec la fougue de la jeunesse courra sur chaque sommet baigné des rayons du soleil. Tu es assise si calme dans la nuit claire, tandis qu'embaument les lilas blancs. La nuit de mai a étalé sur les roses rouge pâle son manteau de soie bleu clair. Tu pleures. Tu es assise si blanche, si chaude. Je pose ma joue contre ton doux bras. J'effleure très doucement tes cheveux blonds et embrasse tes yeux brillants.
