by Thor Næve Lange (1851 - 1915)

Langt, langt fra mit Land engang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Choose for Diff
Langt, langt fra mit Land engang
igjennem et fremmed Bals
forvirrede Brusen klang
en yndefuld hjemlig Vals.

Brat Balsal og Søjler sank,
al udenlandsk Pragt forsvandt;
ung, straalende varm og blank
glemt Kjærlighed gjenoprandt.

Selv ung og livsalig varm
fornam jeg omkring min Hals
et Tryk af en elsket Arm
i Takt af den blide Vals.
