by Bertel Gripenberg (1878 - 1947)

Månskäran lyser
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Månskäran lyser,
natten är tyst.
Längtande ryser
den mun jag kysst.

Grenarna gunga
sakta ibland.
Vågorna sjunga
vid flodens strand.

Ljudlöst på vingar
av sammet len
nattfjäril svingar
i månens sken.

Svag är din vilja,
din kropp är ung -
doften av lilja
och ros är tung.

Månskäran lyser,
natten är tyst.
Längtande ryser
den mun, jag kysst.
