Naar Alnaturen slumrer
Og Skoven staaer Vinterdragt
Naar Sneen fyger
Og hurtig stryger
Af Marken hen
Naar Boreas med sine Storme
Besøger Sjølunds skjønne Egne
Og De en Fugleskræmme skuer
Der ensom staaer paa nøgen Mark,
Da tænk paa mig!
Slagelse, den 4 Januari 1823
When all of Nature slumbers
And woods are in winter dress
When snow starts drifting
And swiftly sifting
Across the fields
When Boreas with its chill winds
Rakes over Sealand’s lovely regions
And you discern a distant scarecrow
That stands alone in some bare field,
Then think of me!
Slagelse, 4th January 1823
