by Steen Steensen Blicher (1782 - 1848)

Til Glæden
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Hulde Engel! Du min Barndoms Ven!
Tro Ledsager i de svundne Dage!
Sig mig da, hvor est du flygtet hen?
Siig mig, naar, naar kommer Du tilbage?

Skøndt ukendt - du engang fulgte mig,
Da min Sjæl var fri for Sorg og Smerte;
Nu - jeg kender, nu jeg sjunger Dig, -
Ak! hvi flygter Du nu fra mit Hjerte?

Er ej nu, som fordum, Lunden grøn?
Kilden klar udi sin Blomsterramme?
Er min Ungdoms Dal ej længer skøn?
Eller - er jeg selv ej mer den samme?

Milde Engel! kom endnu en gang!
Fyld min Barm med hine Længsler søde!
Tryl mit Hjerte med din Serafsang!
Kvæg mit Blik med Haabets Morgenrøde!

See! jeg søger dig - o kom igen!
Hør! jeg kalder, kom igen tilbage!
Før mig til mit gamle Eden hen -
Eller til det ny du snart mig drage!
