Mörker rådde i mitt sinne, Kallt mitt arma hjerta kändes, Innan kärleken der inne Af en vänlig ängel tändes. Ser du solen efter natten Strålande på fästet tåga, Dimmor skingras, land och vatten I ett helgon skimmer låga. Ser du bilden af mitt hjerta: Så dess första morgon grydde, Så med fruktan, tomhet, smärta Skuggan från dess verldar flydde. Sol, som lifvets natt förjagar, Kärlek, om ett bröst du glömmer, Hvartill dessa mulna dagar, Som man utan dig fördrömmer. Dessa dagar evigt like, Dessa hopplöst långa stunder, Detta lif i dödens rike Utan ljus och utan under.
hjerta -> hjärta
Hvartill -> Vartill
lifvets -> livets
lif -> liv

L'obscurité a pris possession de mon esprit, Et mon pauvre cœur a ressenti le froid, Avant que l'amour en lui Ne soit allumé par un ange affectueux. Regarde comme le soleil après la nuit En brillant fait son chemin Les brumes se dissipent, la terre et les eaux Reposent dans un éclat de sainteté. Regarde une image de mon cœur : Ainsi son premier matin point, Ainsi avec crainte, vacuité, douleur Comme une ombre il s'enfuit de ce monde. Soleil, qui chasse la nuit de la vie, Amour, si tu oublies un sein, Où ces jours sombres mènent Ceux qui sans toi se perdent en rêveries ? Ces jours toujours semblables, Ces longues heures désespérées, Cette vie dans le royaume de la mort Sans lumière ni miracle.
