by Bernhardt Severin Ingemann (1789 - 1862)

Far hen mit Haab! far evig hen!
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Far hen mit Haab! far evig hen!
Han kommer ei meer tilbage,
forglemt mig haver min Hjertensven,
vil aldrig fra Dybet mig drage.
Far hen mit Haab, far evig hen!

Synk dybt, synk dybt, usalige Mø!
Forskjertset er Himmelens Rige,
som Havskummet skal du smelte og døe,
skal aldrig til Livet opstige.
Synk dybt, synk dybt, usaglige Mø!
