Regn og rusk og rosenbusk (Rain and Rush and Rosebush) by Hans Christian Andersen is a poem extracted from his fairytale The Stone and the Wise Man from 1858. The text symbolizes the innocence of the young blind girl in the fairytale who goes into the world to experience very conflicting moods and sentiments. But she does not fail if she follows her intuition and faith.
The poem was translated into Norwegian by André Bjerke.

TEXT (Danish)
Vort Jordliv er kun Regn og Rusk,
En Nat, hvori vi græde!
Vort Jordliv er en Rosenbusk
Med Solskin og med Glæde.
Enhver kun tænker på sig selv,
Den Sandhed er os givet.
Der går en Kærlighetens Elv
Igennem Jordelivet!
Det hele her er bitte småt,
En Vrange har hver Side!
Der sker så meget Stort og Godt,
Som Verden knap får vide!
Gør Nar af Alt, le Alting ud,
Le med i Hundeglammen!
Hold på Dig selv, hold fast på Gud, Ske så hans Vilje, Amen!
TEXT (English)
Our life is nought but mist and rain,
a long night full of sadness.
Our life is like a rosebush fair
with sunshine and with gladness.
We only think about ourselves,
this truth is known to all men.
Throughout our life a stream of love
creates on earth a heaven.
It's all so mean and petty here
and upside down and inside out.
There happen great deeds far and near
that no one ever hears of.
Deride and scorn, poke fun and mock,
join in the common laughter.
Trust in yourself and trust in God
His will be done hereafter.
