Tie stille barn min	A
Imorgen kommer Fin	A
Fa'er din	A
Og gi'er dich Esbern Snares ine og hjerte at lege med	B
Zealand Rhyme	C

BUILD at Kallundborg by the sea	D
A church as stately as church may be	D
And there shalt thou wed my daughter fair	E
Said the Lord of Nesvek to Esbern Snare	E
	-
And the Baron laughed But Esbern said	B
Though I lose my soul I will Helva wed	B
And off he strode in his pride of will	F
To the Troll who dwelt in Ulshoi hill	F
	-
Build O Troll a church for me	D
At Kallundborg by the mighty sea	D
Build it stately and build it fair	E
Build it quickly said Esbern Snare	E
	-
But the sly Dwarf said No work is wrought	G
By Trolls of the Hills O man for naught	G
What wilt thou give for thy church so fair	E
Set thy own price quoth Esbern Snare	E
	-
When Kallundborg church is builded well	H
Thou must the name of its builder tell	H
Or thy heart and thy eyes must be my boon	I
Build said Esbern and build it soon	I
	-
By night and by day the Troll wrought on	J
He hewed the timbers he piled the stone	K
But day by day as the walls rose fair	E
Darker and sadder grew Esbern Snare	E
	-
He listened by night he watched by day	L
He sought and thought but he dared not pray	L
In vain he called on the Elle maids shy	M
And the Neck and the Nis gave no reply	M
	-
Of his evil bargain far and wide	N
A rumor ran through the country side	N
And Helva of Nesvek young and fair	E
Prayed for the soul of Esbern Snare	E
	-
And now the church was wellnigh done	O
One pillar it lacked and one alone	K
And the grim Troll muttered Fool thou art	P
To morrow gives me thy eyes and heart	P
	-
By Kallundborg in black despair	E
Through wood and meadow walked Esbern Snare	E
Till worn and weary the strong man sank	Q
Under the birches on Ulshoi bank	Q
	-
At his last day's work he heard the Troll	R
Hammer and delve in the quarry's hole	R
Before him the church stood large and fair	E
I have builded my tomb said Esbern Snare	E
	-
And he closed his eyes the sight to hide	N
When he heard a light step at his side	N
O Esbern Snare a sweet voice said	B
Would I might die now in thy stead	B
	-
With a grasp by love and by fear made strong	S
He held her fast and he held her long	S
With the beating heart of a bird afeard	B
She hid her face in his flame red beard	B
	-
O love he cried let me look to day	B
In thine eyes ere mine are plucked away	B
Let me hold thee close let me feel thy heart	B
Ere mine by the Troll is torn apart	B
	-
I sinned O Helva for love of thee	D
Pray that the Lord Christ pardon me	D
But fast as she prayed and faster still	F
Hammered the Troll in Ulshoi hill	F
	-
He knew as he wrought that a loving heart	B
Was somehow baffling his evil art	B
For more than spell of Elf or Troll	R
Is a maiden's prayer for her lover's soul	R
	-
And Esbern listened and caught the sound	B
Of a Troll wife singing underground	B
To morrow comes Fine father thine	T
Lie still and hush thee baby mine	T
	-
Lie still my darling next sunrise	U
Thou'lt play with Esbern Snare's heart and eyes	U
Ho ho quoth Esbern is that your game	V
Thanks to the Troll wife I know his name	V
	-
The Troll he heard him and hurried on	J
To Kallundborg church with the lacking stone	K
Too late Gaffer Fine cried Esbern Snare	E
And Troll and pillar vanished in air	E
	-
That night the harvesters heard the sound	B
Of a woman sobbing underground	B
And the voice of the Hill Troll loud with blame	V
Of the careless singer who told his name	V
	-
Of the Troll of the Church they sing the rune	I
By the Northern Sea in the harvest moon	I
And the fishers of Zealand hear him still	F
Scolding his wife in Ulshoi hill	F
	-
And seaward over its groves of birch	W
Still looks the tower of Kallundborg church	W
Where first at its altar a wedded pair	E
Stood Helva of Nesvek and Esbern Snare	E
