Lad Vaaren komme
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Available translation(s): FRE
Lad Vaaren komme, mens den vil, Med Grønt, der grønnes, Med tusend Fugles Fløjtespil, Mens Blomster blomstre Og Alt det Skjønnes Fagreste Fagre Kommer at flagre Ud ove Enge og ud over Agre, Vælder i Haver og skjules i Skove, Vælter sin Duft over Vang, og Vove. Hvad gjør de mig? Mit Hjerte er ej Blomst, ej Blad, Og Vaaren gjør det ikke glad: Det har sin egen, sære Vaar, Naar?

Let springtime come
Language: English after the Danish (Dansk)
Let springtime come then, when it will, with verdure greenest, with flutelike song of myriad birds, when all that blossoms and all that is freshest, loveliest, fairest waves and flutters away over meadows, away over fields, budding in gardens and hiding in woodlands, shedding its fragrance on waters and waves. Yet not for me! My heart is neither leaf nor blossom and springtime cannot bring me joy: I must await my own spring. When? When?
