Du er Poet
Du er Poet,
Du er Prophet,
Du er En, jeg aldrig har seet;
Men fra Hoved til Fødder
Er Du proppet med Lykkens Nødder.

Lykkens Yndling er Du af Naturen,
Lykkens Yndling er Du i Figuren,
Lykkens Yndling er Du for og bag,
Lykkens Yndling baade Nat og Dag,
Lykkens Yndling — derfor faaer Du — gjæt!
Dette Speil, det viser dit Portrait.

Til Axel Fredstrup
med mine Eventyr
(Han havde i ,,Lykkens Blomst'' været den lille Nisse)
Er Lykkens Blomst' end kastet hen,
Saa veed jeg dog tilvisse,
Jeg har en gammel trofast Ven,
Her i den lille Nisse.

Vi en Sang maae Holger skiænke
Vi en Sang maae Holger skiænke,
Siger man, og standser da:
Om saa ung en Mand da tænke,
Hvor skal vi faae Stoffet fra?
Der er nok, syng bare til:
Visen selv sig digte vil.
Har I hørt ham føre Ordet,
Seet ham læse sin Latin,
Skuet ham ved Frokostbordet,
Seet ham drikke Thee og Vin,
Og I frygte at ei han
Stof til Visen give kan?
Har I seet vor Holger Stampe
Nøgen paa den sorte Hest,
Ved det Syn man kan faa Krampe,
Hiertet giver det sin Rest!
Hvor man ham betragte vil,
Hvilket deiligt Muskelspil!
Saae I ham paa Jagt derovre,
Der paa Feddet, naar han sang:
„Frage nicht, warum ich traure,"
Og han gik sin egen Gang.
Fuglen selv med Vinger paa
Neie sig for Holger maae.
Saae I ham i Dandsen trine,
Giøre Flicflac, høie Spring?
Hver en Dame, Død og Pine!
Gik da Hiertet ud og ind.
„Han vil blive," lød i Chor,
„God naar først han bliver stor."
Har I seet Personen svømme,
Har I seet ham staae paa Tørt?
Det er nok, vi kan berømme,
Søde Holger, vi er rørt!
Gid du snart bag Rosens Tiørn
Staae med Viv og Maaske-Børn!

Before a Poetry Reading
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I'm feeling nervous but I mustn't show it!
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I hope to heaven that I won't blow it!
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '
I mustn't reveal that I'm a second-rate poet!
I'm only a rhymer, but they don't know it!
If you've got no talent you'll have to grow it!
'Poet! Poet! Poet! Poet! '

Oh prophet!
Oh prophet! Oh prophet! get up and flee
The dormant city
Is vicious, merciless without joviality or glee
Oh prophet! Oh prophet get up and run
The dreadful city before the rising sun
The gentle night welcomes with cover and calm
Oh prophet! oh prophet get up and haste your retreat
The night city drums thunder and beat
A place so foul, no man is liberated or free in solitary streets
Oh prophet! oh prophet get up and hide
This city is filled with bigotry and shameful pride
The night is pure with divinity and delight
Oh Prophet! oh Prophet wake up and rise
Large treasure rapture city eyes
Their sins are blotted in shape and size
Oh prophet! oh prophet take a warning heed
Tomorrow God's wrath will over the city take lead
And with fury and fire burns her towers and her peaks

The Poet I Am', And 'The Poet I Am Not
The poet I am, and the poet I am not
‘The poet I am’ says
To ‘the poet I am not’,
‘Why can’t I be more like you? ’
And ‘the poet I am not’ says
‘Because you are not good enough’
And ‘the poet I am’ begins to cry,
And ‘the poet I am not’ says
‘Real poets cry for more meaningful things’
And ‘the poet I am’ says ‘I am who I am and what I will be means so much to me. But still I am not the poet I wanted to be’.
And ‘the poet I am not’ says
‘Exactly. Were you less concerned with who you are and more concerned with others you might be a bit more of a poet than you are now.’
And ‘the poet I am’ is silent.
And ‘the poet I am not’is somewhere else being someone else
That ‘the poet I am and the poet I am not’ cannot see or dream.

Vandrerens Sang
Hvor Stormen løfter høit sin stærke Stemme,
Hvor Bølgen svulmer paa det stolte Hav,
Jeg tænker kun paa Dig. — Dig Gud mig gav!
— Jeg kan Dig aldrig glemme!
Paa Sletten, hvor den vilde Hingst har hjemme,
Paa Fjeldets Tind, høit i den kolde Sky,
Jeg seer kun Dig, — selv i hver fremmed By -
— Jeg kan Dig aldrig glemme!
Og bort, ja bort — det snevert er her hjemme -
Did hen, hvor Granerne paa Bjerget groe!
Langt bort, langt bort! — Faaer Hjertet da vel Ro?
— Jeg kan Dig aldrig glemme!

Aarstiderne
Du aldrig vil elske? Til Stella jeg taled,
en Morgen i Vaar, da jeg hos hende sad,
mens Solen steeg over Hækken og maled
med Purpur i Duggen hvert skielvende Blad.
Nei, svared hun, aldrig! Thi Elskov er Tant.
Som Duggen, som Morgenens Purpur den svinder;
og naar den er svundet den sörgligt minder
kun om at den svandt!
Du aldrig vil elske? Til Stella jeg taled,
en Middag i Sommer, da trætte vi sad,
i kiölige Grotte, mens Ildkuglen praled
paa Himlen og brændte hvert visnende Blad.
Du aldrig vil elske? Skal Kierlighed da
liig Solen fortære et Hierte som brænder?
Hun rödmed og stammed og vred sine Hænder
og sukkede: Ja!
Du aldrig vil elske? Til Stella jeg taled,
en Aften ved Hytten, i guldfagre Höst,
mens Solen saa röd under Bölgerne daled
og smilte til Stellas ömtbölgende Bryst.
Fortryller Naturens Velgierning dig ei?
Og dog du dens herligste Frugter forskyder.
O fryd dig ved det, som utallige fryder!
Hun sukkede: Nei!
Du aldrig vil elske? Til Stella jeg taled,
en Midnat i Vinter, mens ene vi sad
saa taus ved Kaminen, da Maanen opmaled
i Vinduet Rimens udfoldede Blad.
Du nægter mig altsaa den hellige Lyst
at henvandre Livet med dig ved min Side,
til Alderens Snee farver Lokkerne hvide?
Hun sank til mit Bryst.

This Poet Is Always Beside You
You are reading my poem but,
This poet is never known;
However, this poet is always beside you.
I am on your lips and,
I am in your mouth;
I am in your heart and,
I am in your mind;
Because, this poet is always beisde you.
This poet writes and others read,
This poet speaks and others listen,
And this poet is always beside you;
But, this poet is never known.
The works of this poet are on the internet,
And, they are being read by many! !
But, this poet is never known;
However, this poet is always beside you.

I Am Not A Poet 2
When I feel I am really a poet
I see my flesh is poetry
My pleasure is poetry
My pains are poetry
My feelings are poetry.
Poetry protects me
Poetry teaches me
How to fight back and win.
Poetry is my freedom
Poetry is my independence
Poetry is my flag
And an anthem
Poetry is my prophet
And a messanger.
But I am not a poet
Do not read me
Burn me into ashes
Let there be a flower
From the ashes.

Poet is free
Poet is free
No grammarian can guide the poet
Do not tell before a poet you are dare
And I know there are so many grammarians
With so many grammars
The poet is one with truth with love
All the grammars old middle modern
Are of no use for a poet
At the time of poet's thought
Poet's love poet's poetry
Nobody can search research poet's history
Nobody can dare to described poet
Poet can create his own language
His own grammar and it does not bother the poet
Whether you like it or not
Leave the poet on his own way
It is better you to read him love him
If you are alive.

Avis aux lectrices
Jeg savner noget! — skal jeg Navnet sige?
Det er just ikke af en sjelden Slags;
Jeg savner — ja — en lille, bitte Pige -
Ak, Herre Gud! nu leer man ad mig strax!
Tør jeg da aldrig elske, aldrig sværme?
Hvad? Er jeg ikke gammel nok dertil?
Gud veed, jeg vil jo ei en Sjæl fornærme,
Nei holde af, det er jo det jeg vil!
Enhver Poet, selv ganske smaae Personer,
Har sig en Kjærest; — det maa være rart!
Man er ulykkelig, man sukker og man daaner,
O, jeg maa med! og jeg maa med lidt snart.
Men endnu har jeg ingen ret i Sigte,
At jeg kan blive for min Længsel qvit;
Gud veed, jeg sværmer nok for mine Digte,
Men Herre Gud, det er mig dog for lidt!
Nei jeg maa eie — hvad jeg nu vil sige -
En Kjæreste, saa faaer vist Hjertet Ro;
En lille, kun en ganske lille Pige,
Thi jeg er stor nok for os begge to!
O, kom! lad ei det søde Haab mig svigte;
Thi Kjærlighed dog klæder Folk saa net.
Men Du maa rose alle mine Digte,
Thi jeg slaaer op, saa snart Du glemmer det!

The Poet
The poet can only utter the word fine
The poet has to bear the sorrow and the sin.
The poet can only say I am happy
The poet can only say I feel no aches no pain
The poet can only say I am not in loss
The poet can only say I am in the side of only gain.

Til H. S. [Hvor kjær Du er mig, har Du vel forstaaet]
Hvor kjær Du er mig, har Du vel forstaaet;
For Faa jeg led og følte som for Dig!
Du til din Lykkes første Maal er naaet,
Og der — hvor kan Du sørge da med mig!
Det skal Du heller ei, — men det mig qvæged,
Ifald jeg saae, at Du forstod mit Savn.
To Dage sad jeg ene, dybt bevæget,
Tidt paa min Læbe kom dit kjære Navn;
Men ei Du kom! Mig Ingen kjærligt mødte,
Mig selv og Gud jeg slap i denne Nød,
Stærkt alle gamle, skjulte Vunder blødte,
Selv af dit Venskabs-Kys Bloddraaber flød.
O, gid Du aldrig prøve, aldrig vide,
Hvad Den, som Ingen eier her, kan lide.

Morning Sunshine
This poet is so seductive
This poet is now strange to me
This poet is so bold
This little girl doesn't want to see
The little girl has known this poet
ever since
But the little girl is already
tired of this poet
She just wants to play.
Not any passing minute
She hasn't have
any word of
allegory
metonymy and
simile
Take me away from this poet yet
the little girl must empty first
the words of this poet
Before she is free to play
in the morning sunshine
and go away from this busy poet
Do you think I'm too young to see?
Do you agree?
This poet won't let me
play out in the middle of the rain
This poet won't let me
see the afternoon sway
This poet won't let me
see the morning gay
Let me see the Morning Sunshine
Let me see!
But this poet
Won't let me
I'll just watch t.v
and sing
her poetry

I Am Not The Poet's Poet But Perhaps The Would- Be- Poet's Would-Be Poet
I AM NOT THE POET’S POET BUT PERHAPS THE WOULD- BE- POETS WOULD – BE –POET
I am not the poet’s poet-
The one poets of name and fame admire-
But perhaps the would- be- poets would be – poet-
Who tries to be a poet
And tries to understand what it means
To love poetry and live by writing it
Even when the world does not recognize me..

The Poet Who No Longer Believes In Himself
THE POET WHO NO LONGER BELIEVES IN HIMSELF
The poet who no longer believes in himself
And writes on anyway-
The poet who is too weak to stop writing-
The poet who has died as a poet,
Before he has as a person-
The poet who may never have lived as a poet-
The old old old schnook,
Still trying to write a poem
And believing he has done it once again.
