Når somrens sang er sungen

Når somrens sang er sungen,
og kulden knuger støvet,
og tonen dør på tungen
af stormen overdøvet:
mit hjem, du rige, varme,
i dine moderarme
jeg lever op på ny. 

Og alt, hvad blæsten skræmmed,
hvad frostens magt mon kue,
det skærmes huldt i hjemmet
og tø'r ved arnens lue. 
Hvert lysglimt bli'r til glæde,
hvert suk la'r ud sig græde,
hvert håb får luft i sang.

by Jens Christian Hostrup (1818-1892) , published 1888
