by Thor Cnattingius (1880 - 1929)

Solstrålen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Det glider en liten stråle
in i min fönster smyg.
Den leker på mattans rutor
så darrande fin och blyg.
 
Den leker min barndoms lekar
och bygger luftiga slott
med tinnar och torn och prinsessor
och sagans grånade drott.
 
För länge sen slotten grusats,
och sagan har nått sitt slut,
men ändock, dansande stråle,
dröj vid din lek en minut!
 
Dröj, att jag åter må finna
i sagans skogar och snår
de vackraste svunna drömmar
jag drömt under barnaår.
