from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Linden
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
"Jag var mig så liten, jag miste min mor,  
min fader han gav mig i styvmoders våld." t
I år så blir det en sommar. 

"Och jag hade bröder båd' stora och små; 
som'a skapte hon til björnar, i skogen att gå." 
I år så blir det en sommar. 

"Och som'a skapte hon till ulvar grå;  
mig skapte hon till en lind på en slätt till att stå." 
I år så blir det en sommar. 

Det kom en kungason där gångande: 
"Här ståndar du, Guds fred, kära lind så grön!"
I år så blir det en sommar.

Så tog han på hennes fagraste blad,  
så rann det där upp en jungfru så klar. 
I år så blir det en sommar.
