Carl Nielsen Edition (Editorial Texts)

Composition: 19 May 1926.

The melody was composed as part of Nielsen's contribution to Nye Melodier til Johan Borups Dansk Sangbog (CNW Coll. 21). The idea of setting music to this text apparently came from Johan Borup, and Nielsen received the request through Adolf Riis-Magnussen, the editor of the songbook.
