by Bo Bergman (1869 - 1967)

Under vintergatan
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Högt i det höga slår 
vintergatan sin bro. 
Ensam och fri jag går 
som i en främmad stad. 
Hemlös fast jag har hem, 
rolös fast allt är ro, 
längtar jag, men till vem, 
hoppas jag, men på vad?
Snön gör det tyst, och år 
läggas till årens rad. 
Vänner, ungdom och tro 
djupt i det djupa bo.
