Text

Viol
Danish source: Vilhelm Bergsøe

Flyv ud, min Længsels Sommerfugl!
Bryd Bladets Svøb og Knoppens Skjul,
Flyv ud med Duft og Farve!
Forlænge laae i Snee og Kuld
Du gjemt af Savnets Vintermuld
Som Elskovshaabets Larve.

Flyv ud, Du Vaarens Sendebud!
Du første, frie, friske Skud,
Du Haab om, hvad der kommer!
Flyv ud til Ham, mit Haab, min Tro,
Mit Hjertes Glød, min Elskovs Bo,
Flyv ud! -- Det bliver Sommer.
