by Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875)

Hvil sødt
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Hvil sødt!
Som var Du lagt i Dødens Skriin
Du min Erindrings Rose faur og fiin,
Du er ei Verdens meer, Du er kun min;
5For Dig jeg synger, mine Taarer trille,
Natten er smuk, Natten er stille; -
Dødt! -- Alt er dødt!

Hvil sødt!
Hvert Barn i Ly af "Fader vor",
10Du Lidende, i Søvnen Sundhed groer,
Og Du som elsker, haaber, barnligt troer,
Gid ingen Drøm Dig ved Din Lykke skille;
Natten er smuk, Natten er stille; -
Dødt! -- Alt er Dødt! -
