Det var en dag
 (Sung text for setting by K. Håkanson)
 Matches base text
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Det var en Dag saa let og lys
som vilde Jorden flyve
til Himlen med et Vellystgys
og give Skyerne et Kys
og give Solen tyve.
Og saa langt længer flyve.

Og alle Pigehjerter smaa
de maatte sagte bæve,
de længtes imod Himlens blaa
og Solens Guld de vilde naa
paa Blomstervinger svæve.
Hvem vil mit hjerte hæve.

Composition:

    Set to music by Knut Håkanson (1887 - 1929), "Det var en dag", op. 17 no. 1 (1922) [ voice and piano ], from To viser af Kongesönner, no. 1
