by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885)

Pagen høit paa Taarnet sad
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Pagen høit paa Taarnet sad,
Stirred ud så vide, 
Digtet på et Elskovskvad
Om sin Elskovskvide,
Kunde ikke få det samlet,
Sad og famled'
Nu med Stjerner, nu med Roser -- 
Intet rimed' sig på Roser --
Satte fortvivlet så Hornet for Mund,
Knugede vredt sit Vaerge,
Blaeste så sin Elskov ud
Over alle Bjaerge.
