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.

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 –
