Du Blomst i Dug! Du Blomst i Dug! Hvisk mig Drømmene dine: Er der i dem den samme Luft, Den samme sælsomme Elverlandsduft Som i mine? Og hvisker, sukker og klager det dèr Gennem døende Duft og blundende Skær, gennem vågende Klang, gennem spirende Sang: I Længsel, I Længsel jeg lever!

You flower in dew; you flower in dew! Whisper me your dreams. Is there in them the same air, The same strange elf-land air As in mine? And whisper, sigh or complain This through dying fragrance or dozing glare, Through awakening sound, Through budding song: The longing, the longing I live.
