Vor Jord har meget Stort og Godt,
Vor Jord har meget Stort og Godt,
Men ogsaa grumme meget Smaat,
Som abe vil Geniet!
Saa kjækt de gjennem Verden gaae,
Men naar man rigtig seer derpaa,
De fik kun Liberiet!
Our earth has much that’s good and great
Our earth has much that’s good and great
Though even more that’s second rate
And apes superb creation!
They strut the stage with zest and zeal,
Though at a closer look reveal
But dressed-up imitation.
(1840)
