Lykken mellem to mennesker
 (Sung text for setting by E. Alnæs)
 Matches original text
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lykken mellem to Mennesker
  er hverken Hu! eller Hej!
  snarest er den et ensomt Græs,
  der grønnes paa stenet Vej.
 
Lykken mellem to Mennesker
  er hverken Kys eller Klap,
  snarest er den et Skumringssus,
  der aander, hvor Solen slap.
 
Lykken mellem to Mennesker
  er som den dunkle Nat,
  stille, men med de tusinde,
  tavse Stjerner besat.
