Du, min stille lotusblomst, fra skovsøens rand (Bergsøe, set by P. Lange-Müller, A. Backer-Grøndahl) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Du, min stille lotusblomst, fra skovsøens rand,
du svane, som på bølgen dig vugger,
sig, synker du om natten til drømmenes land?
Er det derfor, at din krone du lukker?

Er det derfor, du sænker dig i skovdybets væld,
når aftenstjernen over dig blinker?
Ak åben mig dit bæger blot en eneste kvæld,
det er mere end drømmen, som dig vinker.
