by Herman Joachim Bang (1857 - 1912)

Jeg elsker Dig, som Havet elsker
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg elsker Dig, som Havet elsker
den vide Kyst, som det beskyller,
dækkende og altid den bedækkende
med et evigt Kys.
Saadan som en Elsker kan
fra Fodens Saal til Tindingens skonne Bue
fore sin sode Laebe
langs den Elsktes ganske Legem,
for, i Salighed, det alt at eje ...
Saadan elsker jeg Dig --
saadan.

Nej, jeg elsker Dig som Solen elsker
Aftnens gyldne Skyer,
der favner den og helt den favner,
mens stolt, en sidste Gang, den hilser
Jordens usle Herlighed og dor.
