Du Skov, som bøjer dig imod
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Du Skov, som bøjer dig imod og kysser denne sorte Flod, der gnaver paa din Hjærterod og suger af dit Hjærteblod. Som dig saa mangen Mand jeg saa, og allerhelst i Livets Vaar, der just den Hand har kysset paa, som slog ham dybest Hjærtesaar.
From the Sinding score.
