Hvad her vi elske, ejes kun paa Borg
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Hvad her vi elske, ejes kun paa Borg, Paa uvis Frist, saa er Naturens Orden, Og vil du være fri for Savn og Sorg, Da maa du Intet elske her paa Jorden; Men Sorgen er en Engels dunkle Haand, Som luttrer, hvad os jordisk kjært er vorden, Og løfter mod det Evige vor Aand -- Og derfor skal du -- elske her paa Jorden.
