I Seraillets Have
Language: Danish (Dansk)
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.

Im Serail, im Garten
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Rose senkt ihre Krone, schwer von Tau und Duft, Die Pinien schwanken so schwer und matt in weicher Luft. Quellen entwallen, von Silber schwer, in trägem Lauf Minarete entragen zum Himmel glaubensstark hinauf. Es gleitet der Halbmond so eben hin über das ebne Blau, Und er küsst der Rosen und Lilien Flor, küsst auch die Blumenau, Im Serail, im Garten.
