Andersen-Liederkreis no. 3
English source: Michael Finnissy

_For the album of Madame Grove, neé Fenger_

Behind the lake at Sorø, with Ingemann and his wife, we enter the presbytery,
We hear the joyful voices of children.
Later, we walk through the forest of beech-trees, to the edge of the lake.
It is now the time of the full moon, and a nightingale is singing.
