O Love, this morn when the sweet nightingale Had so long finished all he had to say, That thou hadst slept, and sleep had told his tale; And midst a peaceful dream had stolen away In fragrant dawning of the first of May, Didst thou see aught? didst thou hear voices sing Ere to the risen sun the bells ’gan ring?

Adam Oehlenschläger , Yduns Frelse i Nordens guder :Som Vinden blæser hen den lette Sky, Saa svinder hver Bedrift i Evigheden. Een Bølge sank, een reiser sig paa ny, Og Kampen leger leflende med Freden; Snart blinke Sværd, snart ruste de i Skeden. Hvad er det alt? Et flygtigt Giøglemøde, En Sommerfugl, som parred sig — og døde. [ 12] James Wilson Bright, Raymond Durbin Miller, The Elements of English Versification , Boston 1910.
