Skjønne, sjunkne Fredriksborg
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Skjønne, sjunkne Fredriksborg, før vor Glæde, nu vor Sorg, — kunde Danmarks Taarer slukke, skulde atter frem Du dukke, skjønne, sjunkne Fredriksborg! Kongen, han er husvild nu; stakkels Konge, husvild Du, Du som gav vor Frihed Taarne, som gav Hus for Folkets Kaarne, stakkels Konge, husvild Du! Danmarks Stolthed lagt i Grus, Danmarks bedste gamle Hus; Gud lad ingen Røverflamme Folkets egen Arne ramme, lægge Danmark selv i Grus!
