by Ernst Frederik Wilhelm von der Recke (1848 - 1933)

Hvad tænker du, du stolte Høg
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Havd taenker du, du stolte Hög, 
Höitoppe i den visne Bög,
Som stirrer med dit Kongeblik 
Udover Lundes Traer?
For vist du snart min Hilsen fik, 
Hvis jeg var Skytten her!
Du drömmer, om en Fugl maaske, 
Som og mod Solen kunde se;
Hvis Flugt var höi, hvis Vingefang 
var stort og bredt som dit.
Saa har vi begge to engang 
det samme fölt og lidt.
