Alverden skal synge

Alverden skal synge din bryllupsdag,
og hæggen i lien skal skinne.
Og lyset skal bølge i store slag,
og vinden ride i ungdomsvildt jag
over hver sollys tinde.

Du sidder så stille den lyse nat,
mens hvide syrener dufte.
På blegrøde roser har majnatten bredt
sin lyseblå silkekufte.
Du græder. Du sidder
så hvid og varm.
Jeg lægger min kind mod
din myge arm.
Jeg stryger så varsomt det blonde hår
og kysser de blanke øine.
