from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Glädjens blomster
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Glädjens blomster i jordens mull,
  ack, visst aldrig gro!
Kärlek själv ju försåtlig är
  för ditt hjärtas ro.
Men där ovan, för hopp och tro,
  blomstra de evigt friska.
Hör du ei hur andar ljuvt
  om dem till hjärtat viska?
