Den første lærke
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE GER
Den første Lærke, den første Lærke!
vort Hjerte jubler i Dagens Sol.
Den første Lærke, den første Lærke!
Den Syge drejer sig i sin Stol.
 
Den første Lærke, den første Lærke,
skønt Sneen skeler fra Grøften op;
den første Lærke -- det første Mærke
paa Vejen mod Rosens første Knop!

Confirmed with Jeppe Aakjær. Samlede Værker - Første Bind - Digte 1885-1908, Gyldendalske Boghandel, Nordisk Forlag, Kjøbenhavn og Kristiania, 1918.
