Silkesko over gylden Læst

Silkesko over gylden Læst!
Jeg har mig en Jomfru fæst'!
Jeg har mig en dejlig Jomfru fæst'!
Ingen er som hun paa Guds sollyse Jord,
Ikke en eneste en.
Som Himlen i Syd og som Sneen i Nord
Er hun ren.
Men der er Jorderigs Fryd i min Himmel,
Og Flammer der staar af min Sne.
Ingen Sommers Rose er rødere,
End hendes Øje er sort . . .

Silken shoes
Language:
English
Silken shoes upon golden lasts!
I've won a maiden fair!
The fairest maiden waits for me!
None is like her; none, on God's bright sunny earth.
Alone she stands.
Not the sky in the south nor the snow
in the north is more pure.
But my heaven is filled with earthly bliss
and flames flare out of my snow.
No red, red rose of summer is redder
than her black eyes deep.
