by Christian Richardt (1831 - 1892)

Søndagmorgen
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Klokken ringer til Kirke, og Gjøgen ringer tilskovs, 
her som hist er livsaligt at være; 
Skoven og Kirken har Svalhed beggeto, 
og hvælve sig begge til Guds Ære. 

Svalen bygger Rede mod Kirkens stille Tag, 
men kvidrer over Marker og Enge; 
som den vil jeg hælde mit Hoved til Guds Hus, 
men derude vil jeg slaa mine Strenge. 

Available sung texts:   ← What is this?

•   C. Elling 

Modernized spelling (from the Elling score):
Klokken ringer til kirke og gjøken ringer til skovs,
her som hist er livsaligt at være;
skoven og kirken har svalhet begge to,
og hvelve seg begge Gud til ære.

Svalen bygger rede mot kirkens stille tak,
men kvitrer over marker og enge;
som den vil jeg helle mitt hoved til Guds hus,
men derute vil jeg slå mine strenge.
