Bland skogens höga furustammar

Bland skogens höga furustammar, 
där ha vi byggt vår egen kammar, 
där snön just faller först, 
och drivan är som störst 
och nordanljuset rödast flammar.

Jag trivdes gott i låga källen, 
där var så ljust i stjärnekvällen; 
jag kan väl trivas än 
tillsammans med min vän 
och leva nöjd och dö bland fjällen.
