I am asking help with Danish

Hi!

Can somebody help me with a few lines on Danish?
It is from a song

Jeg elsker de grønne lunde
med tonernes vuggende fald,
jeg elsker de blanke sunde
med sejlernes tusindtal.

Jeg elsker hver dal, hver banke
med kornets bølgende flugt;
hvor flittige hænder sanke
af arbejdets gyldne frugt.

Thank you in advance

I could not find anything better than a machine-translation. However, it is apparently a well known song, so there were many Danish websites about it. Do a page translation on this one, which discusses the history of the song and gets a little into its meaning:

I found only the same as Night. I did find a wiki-like site that gave an English title for the song, which contains the first line. It said "I love the green meadows", while machine translations often offer up "groves".

Running the lyrics through a GPT machine didn't produce much better or different results, but I can still post what I found if you like.
