by Esaias Tegnér (1782 - 1846)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Frithjof und Ingeborg
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Es wuchsen einst auf Hildings Gut
Zwei Pflanzen unter Pflegers Hut;
Nicht schön'res  war im Nord zu schauen,
Sie grünten herrlich auf den Auen.
 
Die erste eine Eiche hehr;
Ihr Stamm schoss aufrecht wie ein Speer;
Ihr Wipfel, in dem Winde schwebend,
Gleich einem Helm sich rund erhebend.
 
Die andere ein Röschen froh,
Da Winterkälte jüngst entfloh;
Es schien der Lenz, wo Rosen keimen,
Im Kelchlein schlummernd noch zu träumen.
 
Doch bald wird Sturm die Erde umgehn
Und heftig auf die eiche wehn;
Bald Frühlingslicht  am Himmel glühen,
Und sanft die Purpurknöspe blühen.
