Stille, du elskede Kvinde! Tyst maa vi træde, vi to. Der sover en Sang her inde I Skovens natlige Ro. Stille er Vover og Vinde, Tavs er hver Sangfuglemund, Tiende Kilderne rinde Blankt over mossede Bund. Maanestraalerne spille Tyst mellem Bøgene frem, Langs ad Stierne stille Blunder en lyslig Bræm. Sølvskyen selv der oppe Hviler paa Vingen bred, Højt over Træernes Toppe Skuer den lyttende ned. Stille er Vover og Vinde, Tyst maa vi træde, vi to. Der sover en Sang her inde I Skovens natlige Ro.

Hush, you beloved woman! silently we must step, we two. There sleeps a song inside the forest's nighttime rest. Quiet are waves and wind, silent is the mouth of every little bird springs, keeping silent, run shiny over the mossy floor. Moonbeams spill down silently between the waves, along the quiet paths a bright edge [of moonbeam] flashes [or: slumbers]. The silver cloud itself up there rests on the wide wing, high above the treetops looks down upon the one listening. Quiet are waves and wind, silently we must step, we two. There sleeps a song inside the forest's nighttime rest.
