by Bertel Gripenberg (1878 - 1947)
Vi sutto och sågo, hur flamman
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Vi sutto och sågo, hur flamman i ljuset tyst brann ner. Vi sörjde en natt tillsamman och råkades aldrig mer. Ej mer af hvarandra kända vi irra i lifvet nu. Mot lyckan jag -- kanhända men säkert mot sorgen du.
