NORWEGIAN STUDENTS’ GREETING
Summer received him! He now is victorious!
Now, while they harvest the yellowing corn,
Now, while the hills hear the notes of the horn,
He enters glorious.
Mirrored in him is true poetry’s force,
Marked by our winter, in summer its source.
F’en as the air with its quivering sheen,
Leaves of the forests and red peaks serene,
Waters that wander ’mid meadows delaying
117
Sound with the music the sunshine is playing,—
Poetry also shall leap with new life,
If it, though failing, is faithful in strife: —
Leap from death’s thronging:— ~
Soon comes the summer with summer’s pure longing.
NORWEGIAN STUDENTS’ GREETING
WITH A PROCESSION
TO PROFESSOR WELHAVEN
Hear us, O age-laden singer!
Streams of your tones are returning,
Touching your heart!
Spirit of youth is their bringer,
Under your window with yearning
Called by your art.
