by Thor Næve Lange (1851 - 1915)

Langt, langt fra mit Land engang
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
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.
