by Karl-Erik Forsslund (1872 - 1941)

Mitt rike
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Är jag ditt hjärtas konung, 
du drömmens stolta drottning min,
så tåga i mitt rike vid 
klang af höga hymner in!

Och är den gåfvan fyllest, 
så följ mig upp på drömmarnes höjd
ditt varde allt du skådar, 
vårnätters vemod, soldagars fröjd!

De mörke jordens männer dig 
bjuda guld och blommor och bröd,
dig bjuda fält och skogar och 
rikedoms ro intill din död.

Vet flygande vind hvar mitt rike 
blånar i väntan på drottningen sin,
vet vandrande sol den dagen, 
när jag bär dig i skälfvande fröjd derinn!
