by Oscar Madsen (1866 - 1902)

I Klitten gror ej Roser
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Karensynger til sit Arbejde
I Klitten gror ej Roser,
ej fløjter Nattergal i Træ,
kun Flyvesand og Marehalm
mod Vestenvind gi'r sparsomt Læ,
og Hytterne er trange .
Dog Dag for Dag
hvert Bølgeslag
mod Revlens Kind
bær Bud herind
fra Havets stærke Sange.

Jeg vèd etsteds i Klitten
det alleryndeligste Sted
at sidde med sin Hjærtenskær,
som ikke vil sin Brud Fortræd ,
og drømme Timer lange,
mens Taagens Gus
og Stormens Sus
os bær forbi
hin Melodi
fra Havets stærke Sange .

I Klitten gror dog Roser,
der synger Nattergal i Træ
for den, som ved at søge ret
bag Marehalmens spinkle Læ
iblandt de Hytter trange .
Du lille Fugl !
fra Redens Skjul
syng du kun kækt
din Sang, i Slægt
med Havets stærke Sange .
