I Skovens Fred
Ved Elvens Bred,
Der söger jeg et Hjem. 
Jeg kjender der et lidet Bo,
I hvilket Himlens Tröst og Ro
Er venligt tryllet frem. 

I Skovens Fred
Ved Elvens Bred,
Der söger jeg en Viv. 
Jeg veed en Viv der huld og god, 
Et ægte, trofast, kjærligt Blod, 
Og sund på Sjæl og Liv. 

I Skovens Fred
Ved Elvens Bred,
Der söger jeg en Grav. 
En Grav jeg veed der luun og varm, 
Som ta'er mig kjærligt i sin Arm, 
Fra Livets Sorg og Krav.
