Agnetes Vuggevise



Sol deroppe ganger under Lide,
Sov mit Barn, saa bli'r du stærk og stor,
Paa den vilde Havhest skal du ride,
Under Bølgen dejligst Engen gror.
 
Hvalerne med deres brede Finne
Over dig som store Skyer gaa,
Sol og Maane gennem Vandet skinne,
Begge to du skal i Drømme faa.
 
Visselul! Jeg fødte dig med Smerte!
Bliv min Glæde altid Aar for Aar,
Du har drukket Livet ved mit Hjerte,
Hver din Taare til mit Hjerte gaar.
 
Sov, mit Barn! Jeg sidder ved din Vugge,
Lad mig kysse dine Øjne til,
Naar engang de begge mine lukke,
Hvem mon dig da Moder være vil!
