I Seraillets Have
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt Af Dug og Duft, Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft. Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv I døsig Ro, Minareterne pege mod Himlen op I Tyrketro, Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted Over det jævne Blaa, Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok, Alle de Blomster smaa I Seraillets Have, I Seraillets Have.

Im Garten des Serail
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Rosen senken ihr Haupt so schwer von Tau und Duft und Pinien schaukeln so schweigsam und matt in schwerer Luft. Quellen rollen ihr schweres Metall in träger Ruh. Minarets schauen in Türken-Vertraun dem Himmel zu. Der Halbmond spielt in das sanfte Blau so sanft hinein und küßt der Lilien und Rosen Schar, alle die Blumen klein, im Garten des Serail, im Garten des Serail.
