by Anders Österling (1884 - 1981)
Tala, älskade, tala
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Tala, älskade, tala, orden göra mig väl! Svalkande känner jag dala majregn över min själ. Ej jag vågar beröra tinningens blonda svall. Blundande tyst vill jag höra, allt vad du tala skall. Tveksamt läpparna bäva, orden kommer så matt, men liksom strålar de sväva in i min döda natt.
