by Ernst Josephson (1851 - 1906)

Mamma, till hvem skrifver du?
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Anna
Mamma, till hvem skrifver du? 

Mamma
Lulu under täcket 
ligger sjuk.

Anna
             Det rinner ju 
tårar ibland bläcket.

Mamma
Lulu ligger sjuk i dag, 
långt från oss i plåga, 
och till mormor skrifver jag 
för att henne fråga.

Anna
Hvem har Lulu illa gjort, 
gifvit värk och snufva? 

Mamma
Vintervinden.

Anna
               Gif mig fort 
ris och väderhufva! 

Mamma
Anna, men hvart skall du gå, 
du är het om kinden, 
säg hvad som kan förestå?

Anna
Jag vill piska vinden! 
öppna åt mig jag dig ber, 
jag skall vinden rappa, 
att han aldrig vågar mer 
upp för mormors trappa!
