Langveysfra blifver hun iagttagen
Øine, mange Graablick
Medens Maanen tavst glider
Pigen:
"Eg merkje kalde Øyne
Kva er eg vár - maa være snar
Før Trolldomskraft med Makt meg tar"
Øine holder hende endnu
Seer fra nysgierrig Fjærnhed
Norsk Nat iiser
Naar Lyd lig hylende Varg sætter
Torden ruller
(Angsten blusser)
Verden er Sneen
- stille
Alleene hun aander
Hierteslag banker
Blodet iisner i Aarene
De Underjordiske:
"Sorrigens Kilde hviler
Paa de torneklædte Træer
Hun er saa vacker een Dyd
Hendes Drøm Solspell indvier"
Paa disse hvide Kinder
Paa denne smiilforladte Mund
Taarerne i Elver strømmer
Naar Verden er i Blund
English Translation:
From far away she's being watched
Eyes, many eyes of gray watches her
While the moon slowly glides
The girl:
"I sense cold eyes
Whatever I do – I must be quick
Before sorcery takes me with force"
Eyes still behold her
Looking curiously from afar
Norwegian night ices
When the sound of howling wolves beckons
Thunder rolls
(Her anxiety blazes)
The world is snow
- Quiet
Alone she breathes
Heart beats
Her blood turns to ice
Those underground:
"The source of sorrow rests
On the thorn dressed trees
She is as beautiful as a virtue
Hendes Drøm Solspell indvier*
On those white cheeks
On that mouth that no longer smiles
Tears flows in rivers
When the world sleeps
