by August Strindberg (1849 - 1912)

Solen såg jag
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
(Studenten)
Solen såg jag,
Så mig tycktes
Som jag skådat Den Fördolde;
Sina verk var mänska njuter,
Säll är den det goda övar,
För din vredes gärning som du övat
Gör ej bot med ondska;
Hugna den du har bedrövat,
Med din godhet har du båtnad
Ingen fruktar som ej illa gjorde
Gott är menlös vara.
