BLANKA.
O ja, hvad andet,
du lever selv jo kun i mindet om
dit ungdomsliv blandt Nordens stærke helte;
og nægt det ej, så tidt du melder om
den raske kæmpefærd, om dyst og holmgang;
da luer kinden og dit øje gløder:
det tykkes mig, du vorder ung påny.
BLANKA.
Yes, what else could I mean;
You live yourself but in the memory
Of early days among these mighty Norsemen;
Do not deny that often as you speak
Of warlike forays, combats, fights,
Your cheek begins to flush, your eye to glow;
It seems to me that you grow young again.
