by Karin Boye (1900 - 1941)

En stillhet vidgades
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
En stillhet vidgades mjuk som soliga vinterskogar.
Hur blev min vilja viss och min väg mig underdånig?
Jag bar i min hand en etsad skål av klingande glas.

Då blev min fot så varsam och kommer inte att snava.
Då blev min hand så aktsam och kommer inte att darra.
Då blev jag överflödad och buren av styrkan ur sköra ting.

Confirmed with Karin Boye, karinboye.se/verk/dikter/dikter/en-stillhet-vidgades.shtml, Karin Boye Sällskapet
