by Carl Anton Wetterbergh (1804 - 1889), as Onkel Adam

Sjöfruns sång
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Der tallarna susa sin sorgliga sång,
jag älskar att bo.
Der forsarna dansa i väldiga språng
Och dånet mot klipporna natten lång.
Mig tjusar vid månens tankfulla gång,
vid månens gång.
Mig tjusar vid månens tankfulla gång,
min själ finner ro.

Mig men'skorna frukta och elfvorna små,
kring mig hålla vakt.
Rundt om mina salar här dimmorna gå.
I eviga kretsar Jag sjunger ändå.
Till gyllene harpan i salarna blå,
i salarna blå.
Till gyllene harpan i salarna blå
med underbar makt.
