Det bødes der for
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Our translations: FRE
Det bødes der for i lange Aar, Som kun var en stakket Glæde; Det smiler man frem [i]1 flygtig Stund, Man [bort kan i Aar ej]2 græde. Der rinder Sorg, rinder Harm af Roser røde. Der ages paa Lykkens gyldne Hjul Saa fast, at En intet sandser; Men Sorgens trælsomme tunge Læs Det venter os dog, naar vi standser. Der rinder Sorg, rinder Harm af Roser røde. Der leves i Lyst som halvt i Drøm, Men Sorgen har ingen Drømme: Med vaagne Øjne den paa Dig seer, Øjne som sugende Strømme. Der rinder Sorg, rinder Harm af Roser røde. Ej Smilet vil lyse din Dag i Seng, Men Taaren har gode Stunder; Thi Smil er Glands kun af det, der er, Graad Skyggen af det, der gik under. Der rinder Sorg, rinder Harm af Roser røde.
