by Helene Augusta Nyblom (1843 - 1926)

Vår eller vinter
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Er det Solglimt eller Löv 
som i Birkens Grene dirrer? 
Sælsomt det mit Blik forvirrer. 
Er det Solglimt eller Löv? 
Bag en Sky av gyldent Stöv 
synes mig de nögne Kviste 
ud i lyse Blade briste. 
Er det Solglimt eller Löv?

Er det Vintrens sidste Sne, 
er det Vårens Blomster hvide, 
der om Skovens Stene glide 
og i lyse Dynger le? 
Styrted Kuldens Rige sammen? 
Er det Vårens förste Stammen? 
Er det Blomster eller sne?

Er det Vinter eller Vår, 
hvorpå dine Öjne grunder? 
Er det Forårssol der stunder? 
Eller Sne der forestår? 
Årets dunkle Tegn forklar mig, 
o, du söde, svar mig, svar mig: 
Er det Vinter eller Vår?
