Paa Stranden skælver ej det mindste Blad

Paa Stranden skælver ej det mindste Blad;
Her ruller Søen sølvblank ud sit Bad,
Og Solnedgangen lejrer sig derover.
I Himlen smeltes ind de bløde Vover,
Du skuer mod uendelige Sletter
Af Barndomsminder uden mørke Pletter,
Vemodig glad: -
De lyse- Nætter, ak de lyse Nætter!

by Holger Henrik Herholdt Drachmann (1846-1908) , "Lyse Nætter"
