Work comment

This song seems to be an occasional piece, composed during a stay at Sommensberg (near Tranås?)


Libretto/text

Naar Vaaren ånder paa li og fjeld,
og vækker urtene af dvalen,
da dufte södt fram hvert bakkehåld,
vel tusind blomster gjennem dalen.
Men af dem alle er dog fagrest en,
den glindser skjær, foruden ...
Og aander ud et sommerbud:
konvaller, blommornes blomme.
