by Holger Henrik Herholdt Drachmann (1846 - 1908)

Sover Du min Sjæl?
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Sover Du, min Sjæl? 
Er den Dvale jeg føler,
nu da Ungdommen endte,
er det Dødens, som køler 
Alt hvad der brændte?
 
Er den Træthed, 
som lægger sig over mit Øje,
er det Sløret,
som sænkes for sidste Hvile?
Se Timerne ile.
 
Grånet og bøjet
stirrer jeg stum på den høvlede Fjæl.
Det var Hammerens Lyd!
Slår de Plankerne sammen?
Sover Du, min Sjæl?
