by Osvald Sirén (1879 - 1966)

I vassen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Vågorna vagga min vita båt
av och an, av och an, av och an,
vagga mig, vagga mig ensam, ensam i vassen.
 
Vågorna gnola sin klagande låt,
gnola för mig, gnola om dig,
viskande minnen, viskande minnen i vassen.
 
Ack, om jag kunde brista i gråt,
gråta mig trött, gråta mig trött,
vyssjad av vågor i vassen!
 
Vågorna vagga min vita båt,
av och an, av och an, av och an,
vagga mig, vagga mig ensam, ensam i vassen.
