Composition: 1910.

The song originates from the music to the play Hagbarth og Signe (CNW 12) which Nielsen composed in connection with a production at the open-air theatre in Dyrehaven in June 1910. The same year, he had two extracts of the music printed in piano arrangements (the other being Ternernes Dans).
