Nu brender
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nu brænder kameliablomstens kalk i stjerneskin. Nu vugges valmuen vagt og blødt af nattevind. Nu skjælver liljen til randen fyldt af skumhvid duft. Nu risler mandelknoppenes nyn i maaneskinsluft. Saa fyldes hver tanke af blomstersang saa lys, saa øm. Saa bliver mit sind til en duggfyldt blomst, en blomst i drøm.
