Naar Dagen er bortgangen Og Natten falder paa
 (Sung text for setting by E. Hartmann)
 See original
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Naar Dagen er bortgangen
Og Natten falder paa,
Og alle de smaa Stjerner
Paa Himmelbuen gaae;
Da slumrer vel mit Øie,
Men Tanken iler frem
Og søger gjennem Sværmen
Til sit elskede Hjem.

Naar Solen atter straaler,
Da taler vel min Mund;
Det synes, som jeg er der,
Men ak! det synes kun;
Thi mens min Tunge taler,
Mit Hjerte iler frem
Og søger gjennem Sværmen
Til sit elskede Hjem.

 ... 

Urolig er min Slummer,
Ustadig er min Gang;
Og fjernt fra Harpens Strænge
Flygter modløs min Sang;
Min Tanke og mit Hjerte —
Ak, vil Du huse dem?
I Himlen og paa Jorden
De har ei andet Hjem!
