Poem by Tarjei Vesaas (1897-1970)

INNBYING

Vil du gje meg handa ved månens skin,
lauv du er –
Under open himmel. Over open avgrunn.

Som lauv
er du og eg.
Fort skjelvande, og fort borte.
Kom –


INVITATION

Will you give me your hand in the moonlight,
leaf that you are –
Beneath an open sky. Above open chasms.

Like leaves
you and I

Quickly trembling,
 quickly gone.

Come –
