by Bo Bergman (1869 - 1967)

Lillebarn
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Lillebarn lilla, lillebarn mitt,
lillebarn kära, allting är ditt
-- hjärta och tanke och ton som far.
Lillebarn lilla, det är vad jag har.

Vill du ha sol att bli solblind på,
lillebarn, solbarn, så kyss mig och gå.
Mörkret är allting som här blir ditt,
lillebarn, lillebarn, lillebarn mitt.

Stannar du ändå, mitt lillebarn ?
Mörkret är bråddjup och vägar i skarn.
Mörkret är jag, det är jag som rår.
Lillebarn skrattar och skakar sitt hår.

Lillebarn, barn lilla, vind och vår,
ängarna springa i blom där du går.
Blåaste luft är ditt ögonpar.
Lillebarn, ljusbarn i molniga dar.
