by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Bryllupssang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Livsranken bugter fyldig sig og frodig
Frem for jer Sans;
Haabets det rige Lys omslynger modig
Druernes Krans;
Farver i Live spiller under Løvet,
Hvilende Toner svulme frem til Lyd.
Grib det Alt og øv det!
Lev det og nyd!
 
Ungdommens Almagt syder jer i Aarens
Ilddrukne Kraft,
Længes at skabe og i Gjerning baaren
Skue sin Saft.
Spænd da jer Verdens dristigt brudte Buer,
Slyng da dens slanke Søjler imod Sky;
Fyld med Hjærtets Luer
Verden den ny!

Confirmed with Jens Peter Jacobsen, Samlede skrifter, 5th edition, 1906, Bd.1.

Hochzeitslied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
So voll und reich wand noch das Leben
Nimmer euch seinen Kranz,
Und auf den Trauben spielt in kühnem
Schimmer der Hoffnung Glanz.
Im Laube welch ein Glüh'n des farbigen Saftes,
Und wie die Töne klar zusammenfließen!
Ergreift das Alles, schafft es,
Erlebt es im Genießen!

Der Jugend Allmacht kocht in eures Blutes
Feuriger Kraft,
Nach Taten drängt, nach Schöpfung freien Mutes
Der frische Saft.
So spannt denn eurer Welt tollkühne Bogen,
Die schlanken Säulen hebt zum Himmelzelt;
Füllt mit des Herzens Flammenwogen
Die neue Welt!
