by Jonas Love Almqvist (1793 - 1866)

Häxan i Konung Karls tid
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Här uppå berget ligga gummans svarta knotor:
hon, som i våras här brann uppå bål.
Nu skall du få höra sagan om röda elden:
höra huru gumman i bålet satts, att brinna.
Gumman, hon tog vita stickor av furu.
Men sina stickor satte hon i en mur.
Sakta hon steg till muren och ur stickorna
darrhänt mjölkade hon åt barnena små.
Men utur rika prästens ko var den söta mjölken. -
Barnena fingo stå vid modrens bål.
