I Skovens Højsale Falken grå
Language: Danish (Dansk)
I Skovens Højsale Falken grå Tør bygge med trøstigt Mod; Men jeg har ikke en kvist, hvorpå Jeg hvile kunde min Fod. Bag dunkle Buske, så lunt i Løn, Der lægger sig Hjort og Hind; Men jeg har ikke den Tue grøn, Hvor jeg kunde svale min Kind. Når Blomsten græder, i Luftens Strøm Dens Smerte vorder så kort; Til mig der når ingen ånde øm For at veire min Tåre bort!
