Til Kirken hun vandrer

Til Kirken hun vandrer saa stille og from.
Vort Marked var øde hvis hun ikke kom.
De skjønneste Øjne hos hende jeg saa,
som Bølgen saa dybe, som Himlen saa blaa.

Hvem ser vel i Bølgen og tænker ej lidt?
Med Blikket mod Himlen gaar Ønskerne vidt.
Og slumrer i Øjet det sødeste Digt,
hvem tænker da ikke paa Engle og sligt.
