Rosen saenker sitt Hoved, tungt af Dug...

Rosen saenker sitt Hoved, tungt af Dug og Duft,
og Pinjerne svaje saa tyst og mat i lumre Luft.
Kilderne vaelte det tunge Sølv i døsi Ro.
Minareterne pege mod Himlen op i Tyrketro,
og Halvmaanen driver saa jaevnt afsted over det jaevna Blaa,
og den kysser Rosers og Liljers Flok,
alle de Blomster smaa i Seraillets Have.

by Jens Peter Jacobsen (1847-1885)
