Pagen høit paa Taarnet sad
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Our translations: FRE
Pagen høit paa Taarnet sad, Stirred ud så vide, Digtet på et Elskovskvad Om sin Elskovskvide, Kunde ikke få det samlet, Sad og famled' Nu med Stjerner, nu med Roser -- Intet rimed' sig på Roser -- Satte fortvivlet så Hornet for Mund, Knugede vredt sit Vaerge, Blaeste så sin Elskov ud Over alle Bjaerge.

Genrebild
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Page saß und spähte lang Nieder von hoher Zinne, Schrieb an einem Liebessang, Thema: Leid der Minne. Aber ach, ein Abschluß fehlte! Saß und quälte Sich mit Sternen, sich mit Rosen, Fand sich ach! kein Reim auf Rosen. Setzte verzweifelt sein Horn an den Mund, Griff an seine Wehre, Blies über Berg und Tal im Rund Seiner Frauen Ehre.
