by Thor Cnattingius (1880 - 1929)

Det borde vara skatter
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Det borde vara skatter, som läggas för din fot,
och ängens vackra blommor att dig smycka.
Det borde vara kärlek med djupaste rot
i hjärtats fina kammar för din lycka.
 
Det borde vara pärlor att flätas i ditt hår
och ljumma, lena vindar att dig smeka.
Dig borde givas långa och lyckosamma år
och glada lekars lek ständigt leka.
