Der driver [Dug]1 over Spangebro Og over alle grønne Skove; Det volder den fagre Rosenvaand, At ei jeg kan Søvnen sove. Det volder hin unge Rosenvaand, Som ved mit Vindue gynger, Dertil den liden Nattergal, I Skoven derude synger. Det er, for den dejlige Rosenvaand Gynger sine Knopper tvende, Det er, for den liden Nattergal, [Den synger]2 en Sang om hende.

La fraîche rosée a mouillé les prés, Les champs, les bois et la clairière ; Je pense à la fleur du joli rosier, le sommeil fuit ma paupière. Je pense a rosier, à ses frais boutons, Qui se balance sous mes yeux, Je pense au rossignol mignon Qui seul au lointain pleure et chante. Je pense à la rose, au parfum discret, Entr' ouvrant sa fleur nouvelle, Au chant triste et doux du rossignolet, Car ce doux chant, c'est elle !
From the Sjögren score.
