by Herman Joachim Bang (1857 - 1912)

Naar i de lange Nætter
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Naar i de lange Nætter
jeg ensom hviler
og ingen ser mit Ansigt
og ingen mine Øjne, der er torre--
da tænker jeg:
Hvis jeg var dod.
Vilde Du dog komme
og knæle ned,
der hvor jeg hvilte,
og min Haand, som Du nu skyer,
vilde Du tage,
nu, den var kold,
og ind i mit Ore,
der ej kunde hore mer,
vilde Du hviske,
in Stemme fra den Gang:
Hvor jeg dog elskede Dig ...
Og den Dode vilde smile.
