Short Emil Aarestrup poem -
NEW VERSION


Angst

Hold fastere omkring mig
Med dine runde Arme;
Hold fast, imens dit Hjerte
Endnu har Blod og Varme.

Om lidt, saa er vi skilt ad,
Som Bærrene paa Hækken;
Om lidt, er vi forsvundne,
Som Boblerne i Bækken.


Fear

Hold tighter still, your firm arms
Place round me and enfold me.
Hold tight while yet your heart beats
And let its warmth console me.

A short while, and we’re parted,
Like berries in the hedgerow;
A short while, and we’ve vanished
Like bubbles in the stream’s flow.
