by Emil Aarestrup (1800 - 1856)

I Haugen
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Mig henrev den bløde 
Skyaftens Rødme, 
Biernes Surren,
Blomsternes Sødme.

Paa Randen af Skyen,
Den svømmende, fjerne,
Mødte mit Øje
En eneste Stjerne. 

En Hængebirks Grene, 
Den største i Haven, 
Hang over mit Hoved,
Som laa jeg i Graven.

0g Vandperler funkled
Som Taarer, som dine —
Men det var kun Nattens,
Kun Taagens og mine!

Confirmed with Emil Aarestrup, Aarestrups samlede digte, København : Kunstforlaget, 1913
