Elisabeth Synger Ved Johannes Døperens Død

(original)
Jeg var for roen
Alderdommen rede
Da Herren gav meg frukt
Å bringe frem:
En sønn, som skulle tjene
Ham her nede
Kom hel og nyfødt til vårt stille hjem
De la deg til mitt bryst
Svøpt inn i klede
Du vokste opp
Var aldri ond og slem
Så ulik andre barn
Jeg kunne se det —
Men å!
Jeg øonsket at du var som dem!
Så dro du for å la din styrke flomme
Du døpte, refset, gjorde rent
Så jorden
Var rede for en mann som skulle komme …
Han kom.
Du døde
Da var kallet omme
Du var en evig fremmed her
På jorden:
Et barn av sjerner, ja
Og jeg var moren
(translation)
I was too calm
Old age rede
When the Lord gave me fruit
To bring forward:
A son, who was to serve
Him down here
Come whole and newborn to our quiet home
They put you to my chest
Wrapped in cloth
You grew up
Was never evil and naughty
So different from other children
I could see it -
But oh!
I wished you were like them!
So you went to let your strength flood
You baptized, rebuked, cleansed
So the earth
Was ready for a man to come…
He came.
You died
Then the call was over
You were an eternal stranger here
On earth:
A child of stars, yes
And I was the mother
