by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847 - 1885)
Translation Singable translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

I Seraillets Have
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE GER
Rosen sænker sit Hoved, tungt
Af Dug og Duft,
Og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat
i lumre Luft.
Kilderne vælte det tunge Sølv
I døsig Ro,
Minareterne pege mod Himlen op
I Tyrketro,
Og Halvmaanen driver saa jævnt afsted
Over det jævne Blaa,
Og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok,
Alle de Blomster smaa
I Seraillets Have,
I Seraillets Have.

I Seraljens lustgård
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Rosen sänker sitt huvud, tungt 
av dagg och doft, 
och pinjerna susa så tyst och matt 
mot stjärneloft. 
Källorna vagga sin silvervåg 
i sömnig ro, 
minareterna peka mot himlen opp 
i from en tro. 
Halvmånen skrider så sakta fram 
över det tysta blå, 
och han kysser rosens och liljans kind, 
alla de blommor små 
i Seraljens lustgård,
i Seraljens lustgård.
