Et Håb
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Jeg kunde juble for alle Vinde min Glæde ud! Vil man den forstå? Nei, bedst jeg varsomt den lukker inde her hos mig selv i mit Hjertes Vrå. Mit Hjerte brænder, det bæver, banker i Takten, o, til en Jubelsang! Mit Hoved gløder af Vårens Tanker. Hvor vild og lystelig deres Gang. Foran mit Øre det bruser, sjunger som Tonerne fra et Englekor. Med tusind sladrende, søde Tunger, det røber mig, hvad i Fremtid bor. Ak! tør jeg tro det! Jeg vil så gjerne. Hvor Håbet flammer og kaster Skin! Ud fra det tause, det dunkle Fjerne en Stjerne stråler - og det er min!
