by Johan Nybom (1815 - 1889)

Till Ottilia!
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Tysr och blygsam på sin stängel,
Ren som paradisets engel,
Liten snöhvit lilja satt
I den stlla natt.
I den stilla natt.

"Dalens dotter, sångens tärna,
Lyst af mina känslors stjerna,
Blommar här i tysthet jag
För en morgondag
För en morgondag."

"Räck mig, Broder åt den flicka,
Som har lärt af mig att blicka,
Full af längtan, full af hopp,
Mot sin himmel opp
Mot sin himmel opp."

Så var blommans tal. Jag lade
Som det ädlaste jag hade,
Henne ned i bön för dig.
Du förlåter mig!
Du förlåter mig!
