Men inde i Palmelunden
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Men inde i palmelunden er der saa svalt og stille. To smaa rislende springvand ensomt i solskinnet spille. En faun af cararisk marmor blunder i skyggen, den dunkle. Nedad hans nakke og skuldre vandperler skinner og funkle. Fremmede sære blomster hede i solen dufte, vugger de store bægre sagte paa sommerens lufte. Alle de blomster nikke mod mig fra alle steder, som om de vil mig fortælle glødende hemmeligheder.
