Text & Translation
September
Danish source:
Jens Peter Jacobsen
Har vævet sig sammen til en.
Ensom på himmelen lyser
en Stjærne så strålende ren.
Skyerne have så tunge drømme,
blomsterners øjne i duggråd svømme,
underligt aftenviden
suser i linden.
September

Anon.
have woven themselves into one.
Alone in the sky shines
a star so bright and pure.
The clouds have so heavy dreams,
dew flows from flowers’ eyes,
and strangely sings the evening breeze
sings in the linden tree.
