Hagbarth og Signe

Song Cycle by Carl Nielsen (1865 - 1931)

?. Halloges Sang
 (Sung text)

Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Min Helm er mig for blank og tung,
mit Skjold mig slet beskjermer;
jeg føler det, skjøndt jeg er ung,
at snart sig Døden nærmer.
Læeg hendet frygtelige Staal
paa Heltens Bautastene!
I Lunden staar en Natviol;
der hvile mine Bene!

Jeg Livets bedste Rose brød,
og Freia være lovet!
Kom kjære Død! nu i dit Skjød
nedlægger jeg mit Hoved.
Flyv, raske Fugl! frygt Rejsen ej,
stræk ud de Vinger spæde.
Du svæver til en evig Maj
og til en evig Glæde.

  • by Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger (1779 - 1850)
