Adam Oehlenschläger

“ This land is still as fair, the sea is blue around it, And peace is cherished there Strong men and noble women still uphold their country's honour With faithfulness and skill 4. Hil drot og fædreland! Hil hver en danneborger, som virker, hvad han kan! Vort gamle Danmark skal bestå, så længe bøgen spejler sin top i bølgen blå 4. Hail king and fatherland! Hail every a townsman, that works, what he can Our old Denmark shall endure, as long the beech reflects its top in the wave so blue 4. ”

“ There in the ancient days the armoured Vikings rested Between their bloody frays Then they went forth the foe to face, now found in stone-set barrows, Their final resting place 3. Det land endnu er skønt, thi blå sig søen bælter, og løvet står så grønt Og ædle kvinder, skønne mø'r og mænd og raske svende bebo de danskes øer 3. ”
