Lys Nat
Danish source: Otto Benzon

Var det ej nylig, Solen sank
Ned bag Skovene i det Fjerne,
Nylig først, at den blege Stjerne
Så sit Billed i Bølgen blank?

Er det alt Dagens Guld, som gryr?
Glider alt Solens Lavastrømme
Over de bjergebølgede Skyr?
Er det forbi med Nattens Drømme?

Neppe kommen drager du bort!
Lyse Nat, hvi er du så kort?
