by Bernhardt Severin Ingemann (1789 - 1862)

Jord og Himmel
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg gåer som en Skygge al Verden omkring. 
Et Støvgran er Jorden i Himlenes Ring. 
Jeg selv er et Gran på den rullende Jord; 
Men Uendelighed i min Tanke dog boer.  

Henrul kun, du Sandskorn, hvorpå jeg ståer! 
Henflyv i det Dyb,som min Tanke ei nåer! 
Min Sjæl er en Himmel i Himlenes Ring, 
Et Jordgran er Larven, her pusler omkring.
