Hun er saa hvid (Op. 18, No. 2) by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
Hun er så hvid, min Hjertens kjær
Et mere hvidt ei finnes der
Jeg elsker henne, ei det sker
At jeg kan elske henne mer!

About Hun er saa hvid (Op. 18, No. 2)
Edvard Grieg's song Hun er saa hvid is a solo medium setting in Danish. The text speaks of a beloved woman, initially described as incredibly white and cherished, with the singer proclaiming unparalleled love. The mood shifts dramatically as the text reveals she has died. The singer reflects on her increased whiteness in death, and expresses that his love for her has grown even stronger. This secular aria captures a profound and evolving expression of love and grief.
