Har dagen sanket al sin sorg
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Our translations: FRE
Har dagen sanket al sin sorg og graedt den ud i dug, saa aabner natten himlens borg med evigt tungsinds tavse sorg. Og en for en og to for to gaa fjerne verdeners genier frem af himmeldybets dunkle gem. Og hoejt over jordens lyst og elende med stjernekjerter hoejt i haende skride de langsomt hen over himlen. De fodtrin skifte med sorg i sinde. Underligt vifte for rummets kolde vinde stjernekjerternes flakkende flammer.

Our translations: ENG
Und hat der Tag all seine Qual Tautränend ausgeweint, Dann öffnet Nacht den Himmelssaal In ewigen Trübsinns stiller Qual. Und eins und eins Und zwei und zwei Zieht fremder Welten Genienchor Aus dunklem Himmelsgrund hervor, Und über irdischen Lüsten und Schmerzen, In Händen hoch die Sternenkerzen, Schreiten sie langsam über den Himmel hin. Tieftraurig gehen sie, Getreu dem Gebot . . . Verwunderlich wehen, Von des Weltraums kalten Winden bedroht, Der Sternenkerzen flackernde Flammen.
