by Jarl Robert Hemmer (1893 - 1944)

Bön om ro
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Herre, det är ju så ringa,
allt jag begär.
Inga fröjder, som svinga
högt emot skyarnas här.
Inga under och inga 
skatter, som rost förtär.

Herre, den ringaste flinga 
sjunker, när stormarna rymma 
stilla till vila i skog och mo.
Herre, markernas vilda lo 
unnas, när kvällarna skymma,
fridsamt somna på blodig klo.
Giv även mig din ro!
