Available translation(s): FRE
Silkesko over gylden Læst! Jeg har mig en Jomfru fæst'! Jeg har mig en dejlig Jomfru fæst'! Ingen er som hun paa Guds sollyse Jord, Ikke en eneste en. Som Himlen i Syd og som Sneen i Nord Er hun ren. Men der er Jorderigs Fryd i min Himmel, Og Flammer der staar af min Sne. Ingen Sommers Rose er rødere, End hendes Øje er sort . . .
