Krinken on the beach one day | F |
Saw a maiden Nis at play | F |
On the pebbly beach she played | G |

Fair and very fair was she | C |
Just a little child was he | C |
'Krinken ' said the maiden Nis | C |

Just a kiss and go with me | C |
To the summer lands that be | C |
Down within the silver sea ' | - |

It is winter on the shore | E |
Winter where that little child | A |
Made sweet summer when he smiled | A |

It is winter on the shore | E |
Winter winter evermore | E |
Of the summer on the deep | I |
Come sweet visions in my sleep | I |

His | C |
dear voice calls out to me | C |
These my dreams of summer be | C |

Krinken was a little child | A |
By the maiden Nis beguiled | A |
Oft the hoary sea and grim | B |
Reached its longing arms to him | B |
Crying 'Sun child come to me | C |
Let me warm my heart with thee ' | - |
But the sea calls out no more | E |
It is winter on the shore | E |
Winter cold and dark and wild | A |
Krinken was a little child | A |
It was summer when he smiled | A |
Down he went into the sea | C |
And the winter bides with me | C |
Just a little child was he | C |
