about

To a poem by Henrik Ibsen.

lyrics

Jeg vil ud, jeg vil ud i Guds natur,
i vårdagens skinnende lyst;
min bringe bugner, jeg bryder mit bur,
jeg har vinger og mod til en dyst!


Jeg har mod til en dyst mod verdens ve;
den har lænket mig længe nok.
Nu vil jeg juble, nu vil jeg le
mellem vårens vingede flok!


Elegiske rimblomster ånded jeg frem
på rudens isnende glas;
en hjertestråle fra lysets hjem
har nu dødet den klamme stads.


Mit sind er som snekken med sejl i top,
jeg er ungdoms vælig og fri;
nu går min bane mod højden op,
jeg stævner jer alle forbi!


Overbord med fornuftens baglast kun!
Sæt til så den sidste klud!
Kanhænde jeg sejler min skude på grund;
men jeg sejler jer agterud!

Jeg ejer som du et livsensvæld,
der gærer sig op mod dagen;
lad det så standse til jonsokskveld,
det gør så lidet til sagen.


Kanhænde jeg tystner før ribbet du står, --
hvad kender jeg skæbnerådet --!
Men frit i din fagre, frodige vår
vil jeg synge fordi jeg må det!
