Ulver

De entede Tøsens Hiemkomst
Hun vaer i mørck Skog faren vild
Sneens Tepper hafde bredet sig hen
Paa Stien hiem - hendes eeneste Ven

Om hun bare kunde
Folge Stiernernes Baner
Ey hun skulde vildfare
Blandt disse mørcke Graner

Skogens mørcke Arme forbarmede sig ofver dend fremmede Giæst
Giorde hende vaer i siine inderste Tankers Veemod
At i Bergekongens Kammer tørstes efter Christenblod

De Underjordiske:
"Det nærmer sig stille: Een sørgeklæst Pige
Sidder derinde med foldede Hænder
Hun sender een Bøn til det himmeldske Rige"

Ofver hendes Hode
Det drybber fra Qviist
Draabe for Draabe some Blodet
Fra Kroppen til Jesu Christ

Pigen:
"Aa, eismal i ein uggin Skog
Eg kjenn at i Kveld
I Kveld tenkjer ingen paa meg"


English Translation:

They awaited the girl/maid�s return [home]
[But] she was lost in the dark forest
The snow had fallen like a blanket as far as the eye could see

On the road home
Her only freind..
If she only could
Follow the road of the stars

But she was lost
Among the dark trees
The Forest's dark arms embraced it self over the unknown guest
Reminded her of her biggest fright
That the mountain king thrists for christian blood

Those underneath/underground:
"Somone closes silently
A sorrowfull girl
She is sitting there with folded hands
She is sending a prayer to the heavenly realm"

Over her head
It�s dripping from a branch
Drop, by drop like the blood
[Of the body] from Jesus christ

The girl:
�Aa, alone in a scary forest
I feel that tonight
Tonight no one thinks of me�
