Language: Danish (Dansk)
Available translation(s): FRE
Min lille Fugl, hvor flyver Du, Imellem grønne Grene? Ak, mon jeg rinder dig i Hu? Mit Hjerte briste vil itu! -- -- O Gud, hvor jeg dog er ene! Du sagde, at Du var mig god; Ja, godt mig Alle mene, Men hvis Du ret min Sorg forstod, Du kom, Du sang mig Sjæle-Mod; Da sad jeg ikke alene. Min lille Fugl, Du kommer ej Fra dine grønne Grene; Jeg stille vandre maa min Vej; -- Ak, ingen elsker Dig som jeg! -- O Gud, hvor jeg [dog er]1 ene!
