by Anders Österling (1884 - 1981)

Det blir ej till stoft
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Det blir ej till stoft, som så helt var vårt, 
då det steg av den vårliga jord, 
det blir ej till hån, som så tungt och svårt 
under stjärnorna sökte sig ord. 
Bort virvla väl liljornas blad och allt, 
som jag bad om i ensamma år, 
men smält och uppståndet i ny gestalt 
kan jag bära det vart jag går.

Av människoskönhet som strålögd log 
och av högtid i frihet och lön 
emot mig det eviga suset drog 
som ur rökelsens doft en bön. 
Sålyft i ditt verkande glädjeord 
mig allt närmare in med var dag, 
tills kraft av ett stoltare liv blir spord 
i befriade hjärtats slag.
