I Seraillets Have
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt Af Dug og Duft, Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft. Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv I døsig Ro, Minareterne pege mod Himlen op I Tyrketro, Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted Over det jævne Blaa, Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok, Alle de Blomster smaa I Seraillets Have, I Seraillets Have.

Im Garten des Serails See original
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Die Rose senkt ihr Köpfchen, schwer Von Thau und Duft, Die Pinien schwanken still und matt In schwüler Luft. Der Quelle flüssiges Silber schleicht Halbschlafend in Flusses Bett, Gen Himmel weist den Muselman Das schlanke Minaret, Und der Halbmond steigt empor und zieht Still übers Meer Und küßt die Blumen, die kleinen, all Und der Rosen und Lilien Heer Im Garten des Serails, Im Garten des Serails.
Note for line 4, word 2: one of the three voices has "lauer" in Stöhr's manuscript (probably a typo).
