by Verner von Heidenstam (1859 - 1940)

Och vårens fåglar de sjunga så väl
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Och vårens fåglar de sjunga så väl. 
Kom, getapiga, kom! I kväll blir det 
dans och i kväll blir det spel.

Och vårens fåglar de sjunga så små. 
Kom, getterna, kom! I kväll spricker 
blomstret bland tuvornas strå.
