by Ernst Josephson (1851 - 1906)

Små flickorna i gräset
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Små flickorna i gräset 
de plocka smultronbär, 
och de ha roligt länge 
medan dager är, 
små flickorna i gräset.

Så snart som kvällen skymmer, 
de vandra vackert hem, 
och intet finns i vägen, 
som kan hindra dem, 
så snart som kvällen skymmer.

Men där som vägen vänder, 
och korset annars står, 
det växer ut en herre, 
som hoppar och slår, 
just där som vägen vänder.

Små flickorna förskrämda 
de löpa som en vind, 
och somna hos sin mamma 
med tårar på kind, 
små flickorna förskrämda.
