Language: Danish (Dansk)
Chosen for Diff
Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt Af Dug og Duft, Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft. Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv I døsig Ro, Minareterne pege mod Himlen op I Tyrketro, Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted Over det jævne Blaa, Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok, Alle de Blomster smaa I Seraillets Have, I Seraillets Have.

Chosen for Diff
Die Rose senkt ihr Köpfchen, schwer Von Thau und Duft, [Und die]1 Pinien schwanken still und matt In schwüler Luft. Der Quelle flüssiges Silber schleicht Halbschlafend [in des Flusses]2 Bett, Gen Himmel weist den Muselman Das schlanke Minaret, Und der Halbmond steigt empor und zieht [Still übers Meer]3 Und küßt die Blumen, die kleinen, all [Und der Rosen und Lilien Heer]4 Im Garten des Serails, Im Garten des Serails.
