by Astrid Gullstrand (1874 - 1952)
Nocturne
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Tätt till mitt hjärta trycker jag sakta snöhvita rosors doftande blad. Lutar mig drömfylld, gripen af undran fram öfver månljus, hvit balustrad. Andlos jag lyssnar -- tystnadens röster sjunga i fjärran nattens ballad. Ur mina händer faller mot jorden ljudljöst ett regn af snöhvita blad.
