Østenvinden
 (Sung text for setting by A. Backer-Grøndahl)
 Matches original text
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg lytter med Lyst, naar det luster fra Øst; 
Den Luftning meest mig husvaler: 
Den bringer mig Hilsen fra Canaans Kyst, 
Og om Sarons Roser den taler.  

Granatæbleskoven den sused forbi, 
Over Ramas Figentrælunde; 
Den hvisker om Grotten ved Bjergtemplets Sti, 
Hvor David og Salomon blunde.  

Om Hvilen hist i forjættede Land 
Det toner i Østvindens Susen; 
Dog  --  Paradisluftning henflyr over Strand; 
Men Dybet kun svarer med Brusen.
