Lyrics by Henrik Ibsen
Look, Mary, what I bring you;
A flower with white wings.
It floated on quiet currents,
Dream-filled, through spring.
Would you like to dedicate it to your home?
Then fasten it on your bosom, dear Mary,
And still, quiet waves will gather beneath its leaves.
Beware, dear child, of the currents beneath quiet waters.
It is a dangerous place for dreaming,
For a monster lurks below,
Lilies play on the surface.
Child, your bosom is like a whirlpool,
A dangerous place for dreams.
Lilies play on the surface,
But deep down the monster is lurking.

Med en vandlilje (With a water-lily), Op. 25, No. 4 Edvard Grieg
Lyrics by Henrik Ibsen
Look, Mary, what I bring you;
A flower with white wings.
It floated on quiet currents,
Dream-filled, through spring.
Would you like to dedicate it to your home?
Then fasten it on your bosom, dear Mary,
And still, quiet waves will gather beneath its leaves.
Beware, dear child, of the currents beneath quiet waters.
It is a dangerous place for dreaming,
For a monster lurks below,
Lilies play on the surface.
Child, your bosom is like a whirlpool,
A dangerous place for dreams.
Lilies play on the surface,
But deep down the monster is lurking.
Look, Mary, what I bring you;
A flower with white wings.
It floated on quiet currents,
Dream-filled, through spring.
