Unpublished poem by the Danish poet Emil Aarestrup (1800-1850)


DU VAR DEN FINE ROSE

Du var den fine Rose,
Blegrød i Sommerluften,
Og jeg var Atmosphæren,
Som fyldte sig med Duften


YOU WERE THE ROSE IN FLOWER

You were the rose in flower,
Pale-red in summer’s radiance,
And I the air around you
That filled itself with fragrance.
