Barnets sang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Kom, i Dag maa alle synge,
Maalet er en Vise værd,
vi skal jage Livets Tynge
bort med glade Toners Hær,
mane Vintrens mørke Tider
bort med lyse Stemmers Klang –
medens Foraarsdagen lider,
vil vi synge Barnets Sang.

Dersom selv du nogensinde
dybt i Barneøjne saa’,
skimtet har du vist derinde
Skær af Himlens lyse Blaa –
saa’, hvor denne lille Himmel
skifte kan fra Smil til Graad,
smile som en Stjernevrimmel,
græde som en Sky saa vaad.

Fylde Barnets Sind med Glæde,
det er din og alles Sag,
Barneøjne maa ej græde,
derfor synger vi i Dag.
Og hver Gang dit Øje hviler
paa et Barn, du selv har kær,
tænk saa paa, et andet smiler,
glad for det, du gav det her.
