by Bernhardt Severin Ingemann (1789 - 1862)

Thabor
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
   Over Viinløvsalene steg min Fod ;
Jeg min Stav havde sat over Olietræernes Skove ;
   I Dybet henbrused Kisons hellige Flod;
Hoit Thabors Fugle sang over Kedumims Vove.

   Her toned Deborahs Seierssang !
Her priste mit Folks Heltinde Zebaoths Seier !
   Her Baraks Helterøst i Skyerne klang
Om Hedningens Hær, som Kisons Stromme bortfeier !

   Mit Die har skuet Thabors Glands ⎯
Min Sjæl har sig frydet ved Jordens Deiligheds Krone :
   I Forjættelsens Land hæver Bjergenes Bjerg sin Krands ; 
Paa vor Herligheds Bjerg straaler Guld fra Eloahs Throne.

   Forneden blinke Søer og Hav ;
Mellem grønnende Græsgange Jordan snoer sine Strømme.
   Et Paradiisland Eloah Israel gav ⎯
Ak ! ⎯ Sky nu skjuler mit Thabor og Israels Drømme.

Confirmed with Bernhard Severin Ingemann, Ahasverus, in: Samlede romanzer, sange og evetyrdigte, Volumes 5-6, C. A. Reitzel, 1845, p.58
