Hvert örstutt spor

Hvert örstutt spor var auðnuspor með þér,
hvert andartak er tafðir þú hjá mér
var sólskinsstund og sæludraumur hár,
minn sáttmáli við guð um þúsund ár.
 
Hvað jafnast á við andardráttinn þinn?
Hve öll sú gleði er fyrr naut hugur minn
er orðin hljómlaus utangátta og tóm
hjá undrinu að heyra þennan róm,
 
hjá undri því, að líta lítinn fót
í litlum skóm, og vita að heimsins grjót
svo hart og sárt er honum fjarri enn,
og heimsins ráð sem brugga vondir menn,
 
já vita eitthvað anda hér á jörð
er ofar standi minni þakkargjörð
í stundareilífð eina sumarnótt.
Ó alheimsljós, ó mynd sem hverfur skjótt.
 
Translation

Each tiny step

Each tiny step was a step of fortune with you
each moment that you stayed with me
was a moment of sun and a high dream of bliss,
my contract to God for a thousand years.
 
What could compare to your breath?
How all that joy that my mind former enjoyed
has become soundless, out of place and empty
by that wonder to hear this voice,
 
by that wonder, to see a small foot
in small shoes, and know that the world's rocks
so hard and painful are far from him yet
and the schemes that evil people brew,
 
yes, to know that something breathes on Earth
that stands above my thanksgiving
for a moment's eternity one summer's night.
Oh, universal light, oh, quickly fading image.
