Our translations: ENG
En Morgen var din Grav hel vinterhvid, bedækket med nattegammel Sne. Rosen bøjed sig lav, men i den Sne, som tækked din Grav, var under Morgendis Smaafugles Trip i Tusindvis at se. O du, som under Vintersne gravlagt i Dybet sover, ræk mig din Skyggehaand, lær mig, som du at se fra Himmelhøjder over hver Sti, hvor jeg er flakket vild, sænk om min Vandren modermild din Aand!

On this day your grave
Language: English after the Danish (Dansk)
On this day your grave was covered by night old snow. The rose bowed low but in the snow that covered your grave thousands upon thousands of prints of small birds' feet could be seen Through the morning's fog. You, as the winter snow buried in deep sleep, Lend me your shadow hand and then from the heights of heaven, From where you can see all the paths below, guide me on my path Help me to find my way by descending Your motherly tender spirit on my wandering.
