by Christian Winther (1796 - 1876)

Hun til Ham
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Som i en Sky indhyllet, —
Det er nu saa din Skik —
Du drukner, taus fortryllet
Din Tanke i mit Blik.

Dog mig din Taushed maler,
Hvad i dit Hjerte boer,
Meer klart end lange Taler,
Meer sødt end søde Ord.

Jeg kjender ganske nøie
Den Længsel i dit Bryst,
Der straaler fra dit Øie
Med dyb, urolig Lyst.

Som Fuglen eensom tier
Paa Tjørnens nøgne Green,
Af Somrens Melodier
Den røber ikke een; —

Men — den er fuld af Tanker,
Og den er meget luun;
Et Flamme-Hjerte banker
Bagved de bløde Duun; —

Saadan din Tanke fjæler
Sig bag din Tausheds Sky,
Og Blomster-Ordet dvæler,
Til det er Vaar paany.

O, giv den Stakkel Vinge,
Lad Skyen skilles ad,
Lad Ordets Due bringe
Min Sjæl et Rosenblad!

Confirmed with Christian Winther, Samlede Digtninger, bd. 1, Kjøbenhavn : C.A. Reitzels Forlag, 1860, p.5
