Glädjens blomster
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Glädjens blomster i jordens mull,
ack, visst aldrig gro!
Kärlek själv ju försåtlig är
för ditt hjärtas ro.
Men där ovan, för hopp och tro,
blomstra de evigt friska.
Hör du ei hur andar ljuvt
om dem till hjärtat viska?

The flowers of joy
Language: English  after the Swedish (Svenska)
The flowers of joy in the mould of earth
ah, surely never grow!
Love itself is indeed treacherous
for the quiet of your heart.
But up there, for hope and faith,
they bloom eternally fresh.
Don't you hear the spirits sweetly
whispering around them to the heart?
