Language: Danish (Dansk)
Det gyldenhvide Himmellys. De tavse, sorte Skove,
Og rundt i Havens Gange staar de stille Træer og sove.
Og Duggen daler kølig-mild og fugter Kind og Pande -
I Aften var det godt, min Sjæl, at staa mod Dødens Strande!
I Aften var det godt, min Sjæl, i Fald du kunne glide
paa blød og hastig Vingeflugt mod Lysets Hav, det hvide!
Og svinde hen i stille Lys og gylden Fred derinde,
og dø deri - befriet fra din Drøm og fra dit Minde!

La clarté d'or pâle du ciel
Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)
La clarté d'or pâle du ciel. La forêt noire et silencieuse,
Et autour de l'allée du jardin les arbres tranquilles et somnolents.
Et la rosée suave et fraîche coule et mouille menton et joues --
Qu'il serait bon, mon âme, d'être ce soir sur le rivage des morts !
Qu'il serait bon, mon âme, si ce soir tu pouvais glisser
d'un coup d'aile rapide et léger vers un blanc océan de lumière !
Et y disparaître dans une lumière calme et dans une paix dorée,
et y mourir -- libérée de tes rêves et de tes souvenirs !
