by Carl Johan Gustaf Snoilsky (1841 - 1903)

Åter i Sorrento
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Sorrento, än i grönt och ljus
Du ler med dina hvita hus,
Som solen kysser varm.
    Sorrento-loft,
    Sorrento-doft,
Oranger under fönsterkarm!

An lunden full af blomstersnö
Sig skådar i violblå sjö
Och skuggar nymfens bad.
    Sorrento-lek,
    Sorrento-smek,
Sefirers spel med våg och blad!

Än drömma toner utan tal
I vind, i strå, bland berg och dal,
Ett ord kan väcka dem.
    Sorrento bo,
    Sorrento-ro,
Sorrento, hjertats sommarhem!

Confirmed with Dikter af Carl Snoilsky, Tredje Samlingen, Stockholm: Jos. Seligmann & C:is Förlag, [1884], pages 174-175.
