Havfruen bringer Sigurd et Skjærf
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Frygt ei din Veninde paa Havsens Bund! For Jord og for Himmel hun ei vil forblinde dit Øie i Midnattens Stund. Hun vil dig kun bringe et Venskabspant; med det skal du fro over Valen dig svinge, til Livet din Stjerne dig bandt. Men jeg maa bortsvæve paa vilden Sø- Kan du ei til Jord og til Himmel mig hæve, da maa jeg som Havskummet døe.
