by Valdemar Rørdam (1872 - 1946)

Jeg veed en Rose, der venter mig
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg veed en Rose, der venter mig.
En Rose — Hvem?
En Rose — Hvor?
En Rose —
                        jeg røber det aldrig.

Jeg kom dertil, hvor Rosen stod;
              videre måtte jeg vandre.
Men i mit Hjerte slog Rosen Rod —
              så lad den brydes af andre!

En Dag, en Time, og alt forbi.
              Vi glemtes og visnede glade.
Det Rosenbæger boer jeg i,
              jeg blødte min Sjæl i dets Blade.

Jeg veed en Rose, der venter mig.
Hvem?- Hvor?
Om tusend År.
En Rose
                        jeg røber det aldrig.
