by George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Translation by Sigrid Agneta Sofia Elmblad (1860 - 1926)

I dödens tysta tempelgårdar
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the English 
I dödens tysta tempelgårdar, 
bland kalla gravar vandrarn går; 
vid glömda namn på brustna vårdar 
allena han i tankar står. 
Så kanske, oviss om mitt öde, 
mitt namn du här skall se en gång; 
ack, hejda blott din undrans flöde. 
Ett liv är kort, dess längtan lång. 
Tänk då på mig som på de döde: 
»Mitt hjärta vilar i min sång.»
