by Christian Winther (1796 - 1876)

Sommerlyst
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Nu kan vi danse!
Lystigt i sommerluft
binde vi kranse,
ånde vi blomsterduft!
Lilier bløde
roser de røde,
nelliker, bukkar,
violen den blå
her rundt om os stå,
 
Vi har en gynge
hængt mellem eg og bøg,
den kan os slynge
højt under leg og spøg.
Køligt os vinden
suser om kinden,
surrende bier
os sejle forbi
så lette som vi!
 
Gøgen den galer,
lærkerne kvidre smukt,
venlige svaler
svæver i sagte flugt,
Yndige sommer,
næppe du kommer,
smilende, rødmende,
liflig men kort,
så iler du bort,
ak, så iler du bort!
