Jord og Himmel
 (Sung text for setting by A. Backer-Grøndahl)
 See original
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg gåer som en Skygge al Verden omkring. 
Et Støvgran er Jorden i Himlenes Ring. 
Jeg selv er et Gran på den rullende Jord; 
Men Uendelighed i min Tanke dog boer.  

Henrul kun, du Sandskorn, hvorpå jeg ståer! 
Henflyv i det Dyb,ei min Tanke flugt nåer! 
Min Sjæl er en Himmel i Himlenes Ring, 
Et Jordgran er Larven, her pusler omkring.
