Mot alla stjärnor spanar
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Available translation(s): GER
Mot alla stjärnor spanar min blick i denna natt, din närhets fläkt jag anar ... jag ser en skymtning matt. I löfven leker suset, och natten lyssnar still, i bleka vårnattsljuset tar dagen långsamt till. Mig tyckes natten bära ditt namn i svag musik, mig tycks du är mig nära, du som min själ är lik.
