- 1.
- Smertens pligt
- I solens klare skær
- Som koldt vand på sjælen
- 2.
- Knoldede gamle sten
- Og fluernes summen
- Giver krop til mørket
- 3.
- Mørke sprækker i klippen
- Skjuler tiden af i går
- Jeg tror at den kan tåle det
- 4.
- Tidens lag i klippen
- Skjult for mit blik
- Kan kun mærkes
- med en rolig hånd
- 5.
- Cikaderne larmer!
- Hvilken poesi er det?
- Lever blot deres liv
- I solens klare skær
- 6.
- Oliventræerne
- i svalende grønt
- Suger liv fra solen
- og den golde klippe
- Og lader det dryppe
- som sorte tårer
- fra den dybe jord

- 1.
- The duty of pain
- In the clear light of the sun
- Like cold water on the Soul
- 2.
- Gnarled old stones
- And the buzz of the flies
- Gives body to the darkness
- 3.
- Dark cracks in the rock
- Hides the time of the past
- I think it can handle it
- 4.
- Time's layers in the rock
- Hidden from my view
- Can only be felt
- with a steady hand
- 5.
- The cicadas are noisy!
- What poetry is this?
- Simply living their lives
- In the bright glare of the Sun
- 6.
- The olive trees
- in soothing green
- Sucks life from the sun
- and the barren rock
- And lets it drip
- like black tears
- from the deep earth
