To Haruo:
Well... æ, ø, and å are all part of the Danish alphabet... I can't help it! :P Uhm, and what's 'preterbritannic'? :)

To masato:
Yeah, I know of that version, but... I haven't been able to find any info on it, so... I don't know if that's a reqriting of Grundvig's, or a 'true' folksong predating his work...
By the way, Sorten Muld recorded your (masato's) version on their album 'Mark II' from 1997 :)
