Text

Sænk kun dit hoved, du Blomst
Danish source: Johannes Jørgensen

Sænk kun dit hoved, du blomst
bøj det i bladene ned.
Vent kun med lukket krone
nattens livsalige fred.

Natten den milde, den tyste,
kommer – o, bøj dig til blund.
Sov under gyldne stjerner,
som dig salig og sund.

Sov som et barn der vugges
blidt i sin moders favn.
Vågner kun halvt og sukker
smilende moders navn.
