And silently watches over the golden treasure,<br />

The k<strong>in</strong>g alone<br />

Peeps beh<strong>in</strong>d a branch,<br />

He glimpses our merriment, hears our song,<br />

Listens to the noise<br />

All by himself,<br />

Hears from the height<br />

Our beakers' r<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

CHORUS.<br />

The k<strong>in</strong>g alone, etc.<br />

MOGENS.<br />

Soon the moon, no longer pale, will tend<br />

Its night-light high over beech and oak.<br />

The stars will glitter<br />

Soon <strong>in</strong> the darkness,<br />

When the even<strong>in</strong>g is adorned for the festival.<br />

Freya will tw<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Her golden hair,<br />

We shall f<strong>in</strong>d the way<br />

To the wedd<strong>in</strong>g-garden.<br />

CHORUS.<br />

The stars will glitter, etc.<br />

MOGENS.<br />

Then let us now dr<strong>in</strong>k a toast to our sheriff!<br />

Long live him and his bride!<br />
