Alle de voksende Skygger Har vævet sig sammen til en, Ensom paa Himmelen lyser En Stjærne saa straalende ren, Skyerne have saa tunge Drømme, Blomsternes Øjne i Duggraad svømme, Underligt Aftenvinden Suser i Linden.

Alle die wachsenden Schatten sind nunmehr zu einem vereint. Einsam an Himmelsmatten ein strahlender Stern erscheint. Wolken träumen gar schwer und bangen, Äuglein der Blüten von Tau umhangen. Rauschenden Abendwinden lauschen die Linden.

Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt Af Dug og Duft, Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft. Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv I døsig Ro, Minareterne pege mod Himlen op I Tyrketro, Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted Over det jævne Blaa, Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok, Alle de Blomster smaa I Seraillets Have, I Seraillets Have.

Rosen senken die Blüten, schwer von Tau und Duft, und Pinien schwanken leis hin und her in schwüler Luft. Brunnen verplätschern silbern und schwer in matter Ruh, Minare weisen schlank und hehr dem Himmel zu. Und ein Halbmond zieht seine stille Bahn durch die Bläue der Nacht, küsst die Rosen, Lilien und Blumen all in ihrer Pracht im Park des Serail, im Park des Serail.

Havde jeg, o havde jeg en Dattersøn, o ja!
Og en Kiste med mange, mange Penge,
Saa havde jeg vel ogsaa havt en Datter, o ja!
Og Huus og Hjem og Marker og Enge.
