by Julius Christian Gerson (1811 - 1894)

Nattergalen
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Hvor det ringer sødt fra Busken! Jeg vil lytte stille til.
Er det ikke Nattergalens liftigbløde Fløitenspil?
liftigbløde Fløitenspil?
Jo! jeg kjender disse Toner! sødt som nu det for mig lød,
naar min Moder sad og vugged mig i slummer paa sit Skjød,
mig i slummer paa sit Skjød.
Hvor velsignet lød det ikke! og hvor saae hun paa mig huldt!
Kjære Nattergal o! kan du, syng som hun mit Hjærte fuldt!
O! syng som hun! Kjære Nattergal o! kan du, syng som hun mit Hjærte fuldt!
O! syng som hun mit Hjærte fuldt!
