out among the soft rolling hills
\nthat roll in their own pocket of time
\nthere\u2019s a house for special children<\/p>\n

each of them born
\nwith a seed inside their head<\/p>\n

a seed of a copper beech
\na seed of a larch
\na seed of an oak
\na seed of a maple
\na seed of a birch
\na seed of an elm<\/p>\n

a seed for every kind of tree
\nthe world needs
\nfor the birds that bring dreams
\nto us ordinary shadows<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

the children arrive from nowhere
\nbut always from among us<\/p>\n

and we never notice
\nthey have gone<\/p>\n

we never notice
\nthey have been here<\/p>\n

we just feel a weight has gone
\nfrom our knees
\nand go about our daily nothings<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

they sleep in soft beds
\non pillows stuffed with clouds
\nand a single dewdrop<\/p>\n

made by the Thistleman
\nand the ghosts of bees
\nof bygone summers
\n(as you know)<\/p>\n

cats of light
\nbeetles of rainbows
\nsoon-to-be angels
\nand playful violins
\nsee to their every need<\/p>\n

preparing them for their inevitable departure
\nwhen they will venture out
\namong the rolling hills
\nto sit down in a nice spot
\nthey will recognise
\nwhen they see it
\nand let the seed take over
\nand nature run its course<\/p>\n

and when Time goes by
\nit will recognise
\nevery single child<\/p>\n

and smile<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

ude mellem de bl\u00f8dt rullende bakker
\nder ruller i deres egen lomme af tid
\ner der et hus for specielle b\u00f8rn<\/p>\n

hver is\u00e6r f\u00f8dt
\nmed et fr\u00f8 inde i hovedet<\/p>\n

et fr\u00f8 af en blodb\u00f8g
\net fr\u00f8 af en l\u00e6rk
\net fr\u00f8 af en eg
\net fr\u00f8 af et ahorntr\u00e6
\net fr\u00f8 af en birk
\net fr\u00f8 af en elm<\/p>\n

et fr\u00f8 af alle slags tr\u00e6er
\nverden har brug for
\ntil fuglene, der bringer dr\u00f8mme
\ntil os almindelige skygger<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

b\u00f8rnene kommer ingen steder fra
\nmen altid fra iblandt os<\/p>\n

og vi m\u00e6rker aldrig
\nat de er v\u00e6k<\/p>\n

vi m\u00e6rker aldrig
\nat de var her<\/p>\n

vi m\u00e6rker kun at en v\u00e6gt
\ner forsvundet fra vore kn\u00e6
\nog forts\u00e6tter i vort daglige tomrum<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

de sover i bl\u00f8de senge
\np\u00e5 puder fulde af skyer
\nog en enkelt dugdr\u00e5be<\/p>\n

lavet af Tidselmanden
\nog \u00e5nderne af hedengangne
\nsomres bier
\n(som du v\u00e9d)<\/p>\n

katte af lys
\nbiller af regnbuer
\nkommende engle
\nog legesyge violiner
\npasser og plejer dem<\/p>\n

og forbereder dem p\u00e5 deres uundg\u00e5elige afsked
\nn\u00e5r de skal begive sig afsted
\nud blandt de rullende bakker
\nfor at s\u00e6tte sig p\u00e5 en dejlig plet
\nde genkender
\nn\u00e5r de ser den
\nog lade fr\u00f8et tage over
\nog naturen g\u00e5 sin gang<\/p>\n

og n\u00e5r Tiden g\u00e5r forbi
\nvil den genkende
\nhvert eneste barn<\/p>\n
