Hun er saa hvid, min Hjertenskjær,
Et mere hvidt ej findes der;
Jeg elsker hende, ej det sker,
At jeg kan elske hende mer!

Nu er hun død, min Hjertenskjær,
langt mere hvid hun smilerder!
Nu er hun død, o Hjertegru!
Og mer jeg elsker hende nu!

Composition:

    Set to music by Carl Nielsen (1865 - 1931), "Hun er saa hvid"
