Høst
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Nu gyder Høsten sit gyldne Blod og blodigt Guld over Skove. [De spejler]1 sig stille i Sø og Flod. Den blide glidende Vove. Se, Birken staar som det lyse Guld, og Asken som gule Topaser. [Men]2 grøn er Rønnen og tung og fuld af røde Rubiner i Klaser. Som blaagrøn [Fløjel]3 er Fyrrens Dragt, som Kobberet Grene og Stammer. Men Granen staar i sin mørke Pragt blandt Buskenes blegrøde Flammer. Ah, Guld og Farver som aldrig før mod Ætherens blegblaa Himmel. Saa rig er Somren den [Stund]4, den dør, saa lykkeør, saa farvedrukken og svimmel.
