Aften på loggiaen (Ingemann, set by P. Heise) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Over hav og bjerg og flod
kom jeg hid fra norden;
ej hvad hjertet hist forlod,
finder det på jorden.

O, men her dog øjet ser,
hvad ved Codans strømme
aldrig uden vemod mer
sjælen sig kan drømme!

Underfuldt er her at stå;
saligt her at hvile:
I hver luftning engle små
vifte og hensmile.

Stille nat på fremmed tag!
Flamebjerg ved voven!
Velske nattergaleslag,
fra Lemoneskoven.

Nye himmel Nye jord!
Nye tryllestemmer!
Fryd, jeg drømte om i Nord!
Nu jeg dig fornemmer!
