Tonen
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Our translations: FRE
Der synger i mig en Tone, den kjendes saa tung og saa gul af Guld, jeg selv blir en Herre af Rigdom fuld, en Konge i Kaabe og Krone. Staar Natten stum mod min Rude, da synger den Guldlyd igjennem mit Sind, den slynger min Tanke fra Tind til Tind til mange Verdner derude. Den bær mig til andre Kloder, hvor Stjærnerne svømmer som Ø efter Ø. Det er som mit Hjerte af Lykke skal dø til lange, brusende Noder.
