by Ludvig Holstein (1864 - 1943)

En Duft af Viol! Ak, Duft af Viol!
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
En Duft af Viol! Ak, Duft af Viol!
Og Kilder, som pipler i mossede Bund.
Og Duft af Viol, ak, Duft af Viol!
Og nogen, som kysser min Kind og min Mund —
Ak, hellige Sol!

Du kysser mig blot, ak, kysser mig blot!
Saa vaagner de Blomster af Vinterens Baand.
Mit Øje bli’r vaadt, ak, Øjet bli’r vaadt!
Du stryger min Kind med din kærlige Haand —
Ak, hvor det gør godt!

Mit Hjerte var sygt, ak, Hjertet var sygt!
Du kysser mit Hjerte, som havde det ondt.
Det drømte saa stygt, ak, drømte saa stygt!
Nu kysser du Hjertet, saa bliver det sundt,
saa banker det trygt!

Dit duftende Haar! Ak, Duft af dit Haar!
Det rinder velsignende over min Kind.
Jeg Øjet opslaar, ak, op jeg det slaar!
Jeg ser i din Hellighed skælvende ind —
ak, evige Vaar!
