Himlen ulmer svagt
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Himlen ulmer svagt i flamme-rødt bag de dunkle graner, bag de drømmende. Skjult, hvor skyggen falder tæt og blødt synger nattergalen højt og strømmende. Aftenstjernen dirrer stor og blank mod den matte guldgrund sig fortonenende. Nåleskoven dufter. Mørket sank. over jord, befdriende, forsonende. Hele dage har du tappert stridt uden suk, med blege læber smilende. Græd nu, stakkels søster, græd nu frit. tvangsløst i din dybe smerte hvilende.
