Maynat
Jeppe Aakjær, 1916
Saa ensomt bræger det spæde Lam
paa Bakken langt i det fjærne,
og Frøerne kvækker fra Pyt og Dam,
som sang det fra Stjærne til Stjærne.

May Night
Jeppe Aakjær, 1916
The lonely young lamb on the hill beyond
can be heard with its plaintive small baa,
and the frogs all croak from puddle and pond,
as if star now were singing to star.
Danish poem, translated by John Irons from the Danish into the English.
