3. Sister, awake! [sung text not yet checked]

Sister awake! Close not your eyes,
  The day her light discloses,
And the bright morning doth arise,
  Out of her bed of roses.

See the clear sun, the world's bright eye,
  In at our window peeping;
Lo! how he blusheth to espy
  Us idle wenches, sleeping!

Therefore awake! make Haste, I say,
  And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
  Into the park a-maying!

4. Som på blånande fjärda [sung text not yet checked]

Som på blånande fjärdar vågorna 
gå i glittrande, lekfull dans, 
så glittra och leka lågorna 
bakom din ögonfrans. 

De smyga sig fram mellan lockarna, 
som vinden rör då och då, 
de spegla de flygande flockarna 
av drömmar, som komma och gå. 

Från fransarna faller det smekande 
ett sken som ur skymningens värld. 
Men innerst så ljust och så lekande 
som solstänk på sommarens fjärd.
