by Helge Rode (1870 - 1937)

Skjaldens Sang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Min pige er så lys som rav
Og Danmarks gyldne hvede
Og blikket er så blåt som hav,
Når himlen er dernede,
Prinsesse Tove af Danmark!

Min pige kan vel være hård,
Mod dem, hun ilde lider,
Da har hun ord, som hidsigt slår,
Og lidt for hidsigt bider.
Prinsesse Tove af Danmark.

Det smilehul går bag en sky,
Og farligt øjet gråner,
Men stråler bryder frem påny,
Og blikkets bølger blåner,
Prinsesse Tove af Danmark.

Thi ser jeg i de øjne ind,
De bliver vege, varme.
Da hviler jeg i hendes sind,
Som i to bløde arme.
Prinsesse Tove af Danmark.
