by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)
Lutad mot gärdet
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Lutad mot gärdet stod Gossen vid flickans arm, Såg öfver slagen äng: "Sommarens tid har flytt, Blommorna vissnat re'n; Skön är din kind likväl, Rosor och liljor der Blomstra, som förr, ännu." Våren kom åter, då Stod han allena der! Flickan var borta -- låg Vissnad i jordens famn; Ängen var grön igen, Leende, blomsterrik.
