Starlight
O beautiful Stars, when you see me goHither and thither, in search of love,
Do you think me faithless, who gleam and glow
Serene and fixed in the blue above?
O Stars, so golden, it is not so.
But there is a garden I dare not see,
There is a place where I fear to go,
Since the charm and glory of life to me
The brown earth covered there, long ago.
O Stars, you saw it, you know, you know.
Hither and thither I wandering go,
With aimless haste and wearying fret;
In a search for pleasure and love? Not so,
Seeking desperately to forget.
You see so many, O Stars, you know.
(The end)

Dame Martha dwelt at Karisegaard, So many kind deeds she wrought:If the winter were sharp and the rich man hard, Her gate the indigent sought.With her hand the hungry she loved to feed, To the sick she lent her aid;The prisoner oft from his chains she freed, And for souls of sinners pray'd.Denmark's land was in peril dire, The Swede around burnt and slew;The castle of Martha was wrapped in fire, To the church the good lady flew.She dwelt in the tower both night and day, There
