by Holger Henrik Herholdt Drachmann (1846 - 1908)

Bosporus! din Bølge sukker
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Bosporus! din Bølge sukker,
naar med Knitren Solen slukker 
Faklen i dit vaade Skød!
Men fra modsat Side Maanen
ud af Æthrens dybe Blaanen
strækker Lampen valmurød.

Og det er i Valmudrømme 
Bølgen vugger sig til øme 
Toners skære Farveklang!
O Suleîma! denne Bliven, 
denne Flygten bort og Given
hen sig i den tavse Fryd:

denne Længsel, som vil stige, 
denne Attraa, som vil hige 
frem og frem til større Fryd...
dette uudsigelige 
valmusvangre Drømmerige 
kender Du til Bølgens Lyd?
