Ak, ingensteds er Roserne så røde
 (Sung text for setting by T. Laub)
 See original
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
 ... 

Ak! ingensteds er Roserne saa røde;
Ak! ingensteds er Stormene saa smaa;
Og ingensteds er Dunene saa blöde,
Som de, vor Barndoms Uskyld hvilte paa. 

O elskte Plet!  hvor første Gang mit Øre                       
Hen rykkedes af Vaarens Harpers Klang;
Hvor Himles Harmonie jeg troede höre
I Skovens Genlyd af min Moders Sang.

 ... 

Forgiæves hæver langt bag Hjemmets Hegne               
Sig højere mod Himlen Jordens Bryst;
O!  hvad var Himlen selv, hvis ingen vegne
Vort Hjerte der fandt Spor af svunden Lyst?
