Sippan
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Sippa, vårens första blomma, Om jag bröt dig, om jag gaf dig Åt den älskade, den kalla! Bröt jag dig, jag skulle ge dig, Gaf jag dig, jag skulle säga: "Nära drifvans kant, o flicka, Växte vårens första blomma, Som vid isen af ditt hjerta Blommar upp min trogna kärlek, Bäfvande för vinterkylan, Men ej qväfd af den, ej skördad."
