Stenhammar was a Swedish composer, conductor and pianist. The poem was written by J. P. Jacobsen, who was a Danish novelist, poet, and scientist.

Alle de voksende Skygger

har vævet sig sammen til en,

ensom paa Himmelen lyser

en Stjærne saa straalende ren,

Skyerne have saa tunge Drømme,

Blomsternes øjne i Duggraad svømme,

underligt Aftenvinden suser i Linden.

All the growing shadows have

Woven themselves into one,

Alone in the sky shines

A star so bright and pure.

The clouds have so heavy dreams,

Dew flows from flowers eyes,

And strangely sings the evening breeze,

Sings in the linden tree.

Musica Ficta

Conducted by Bo Holten
