Rosen
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Rosen sidder paa Thronen,
Hun haver den største Magt:
Hun bærer Sceptret og Kronen
For alle Blomsters Pragt.

I Vaarens Høitidsklæde
Sees Lilie, Nellik, Viol
Ydmygelig fremtræde
For hendes Dronningstol.

Syringer og Akeleier,
Reseda med Tusindfryd
For hendes Fod sig neier
I deres rigeste Pryd.

De aabne de gyldne Skaaler,
Da dufter den hele Krands;
Men Rosen dem overstraaler,
Som Solen Stjernernes Glands. -

- Mig blomstrer i Sands og Sinde
En Flor udaf Tanker frie;
For Dig de alle maae svinde,
Thi Du er Rosen deri!
