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.

Hinaus zur Pforte War alles gezogen, Die Abschiedsworte im Nachtwind verflogen. Und ringsum drückte entsetzliches Schweigen, Wo einst entzückte der frohe Reigen. Es war ein Fest nur vor nächtlichem Frieden; Sie war ein Gast nur, nun ist sie geschieden.
