Morgen på Middelhavet

Det glitrer i Morgenstunden
fra Sierra Nevadas sne,
høit over Middelhavet 
skyder dets glødende bræ.

Jeg kan ikke tro mine øine, 
jeg tror, at jeg ligger og drømmer,
men føler hvor blodet hidsigt 
sammen mod hjertet strømmer.

Jeg tror, at jeg ligger og drømmer 
det deiligste eventyr,
som svinder saasnart den triste 
høstmorgen gråner og gryr.

Aa Gud, lad mig altid drømme 
og lad det aldrig bli morgen.
Lad mig drømme bort hele livet 
og kviden og gråden og sorgen!
