by Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger (1779 - 1850)

Tusmørket
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Solen sank bag Bøgekroner, 
Langsomt hæver Mørket sig. 
Sværmeriets Trylletoner 
Aftenskumring lærte mig. 

Ærbar i et Slør sig svøber 
Al den unge Blomsterpragt; 
O men halvindhyllet røber 
Dobbelt Skjønheden sin Magt! 

Dagen synker, Egnen hviler, 
Svøbt i Mørke, stolt og fri. 
Glødende bag Busken smiler 
Maanen, som min Phantasie. 

Zephir vugger sorte Grene, 
Vifter Kjøling til mig hen. 
Nattergalen klager ene, 
Vaarens Sanger, Hjertets Ven. 

Skumring! ofte vil jeg sværme 
Her i dette sorte Krat, 
Medens Skyggerne sig nærme 
For at hylle mig i Nat. 

Hen, som Du, min Længsel svinde 
Salig i sit Veemodssavn! 
Stjerner! ak, naar skal I finde 
Skjalden i den Elsktes Favn?
