by Hugo Montgomery-Cederhielm (1847 - 1872)

Var du en solig dag?
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Var du en solig dag, som grydde 
kort som en trastens dröm i skog? 
Var du en ton, som ljöd och flydde, 
sist i ett fjärran vemod dog?

Vintern har flytt, och vårens vindar 
andas på hjärtats frusna tår. 
Gräset är grönt kring björk och lindar; 
sommar det blir väl ock i år.

Jorden är skön som förr hon varit, 
himlen är ljus och solen ler. 
Minenas sommartid, som farit, 
kommer du aldrig, aldrig mer?
