- Fyrvaktarn [fyrvaktaren] seglar sin dotter mot land, till bröllop i vårstormens hotfulla dån. Blicken har skumnat, han ser inte brotten. Kostern går under, ett skrik genom stormen. Och klockorna hörs vagt från kyrkan i Dyrö. De ringer för fyrvaktarns [fyrvaktarens] dotter.
- The lighthouse keeper sails his daughter toward land, to a weeding in the menacing roar of the spring storm. His gaze has clouded, he cannot see the breakers. The koster [type of wide sailboat] goes down, a scream through the storm. And the bells are dimly heard from the church in Dyrö. They are ringing for the lighthouse keeper's daughter.
