Fagre Nat med Blomsterstrøme
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Available translation(s): FRE
Fagre Nat med Blomsterstrøme gennem Vindvets aabne Sluse, medens fjærne Bølger bruse som et Hav af Valmudrømme: Vindvet i! men tyst og varlig, Søvnen er den Syge god, men en saadan Søvn er farlig med et Blomsterhav for Fod. Lyse Dag med stærke Strømme, Solglans gennem Taagens Banker, faste Forsæt, rene Tanker, svale Pust af vaagne Drømme over Mandeviljens Hav: Morgnens Gry er Nattens Grav. Tak! den Haand, som Morgenhilsen med et ærligt Haandslag gav.

Wonnige Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Wonnige Nacht mit Blumenströmen wogend hinein durch alle Fenster aus der Ferne brausen die Wellen wie ein Meer von Mohnesträumen: Fenster zu! doch sacht und leise, Schlummer ist dem Kranken gut; doch wohl ist solch ein Schlaf gefährlich Schwelgend in der Blumen Fluth. Lichter Tag, mit starker Strömung, Sonnenglanz durch Nebelberge, fester Vorsatz, reiner Sinn, frischer Zug von wachen Träumen über des Manneswillens Meer: Morgengrau'n das Grab der Nacht. Dank! der Hand, die fest und ehrlich dir den Morgengruß gebracht.
From the Sinding score.
