by Emil von Qvanten (1827 - 1903)

Vakna!
 (Sung text for setting by J. Sibelius)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Ensam i dunkla skogarnas famn
Går jag enslig stig.
Doften rosor!
Doften, blommor i fläktars sus,
Doften alla vid stjernors ljus,
Dofta, hjerta,
Dofta stilla i natten!

Ensam i gröna skogarnas lund
Går jag enslig stig.
Sjungen skogar!
Sjungen grottor vid källors brus,
Sjungen alla vid månens ljus,
Sjung, mitt hjerta,
Sjung helt stilla i natten.

Ensam i mörka skogarnas djup
Går jag enslig stig.
Vaknen andar!
Vaknen alla i lunders sus,
Vaknen alla vid nattligt ljus,
Vakna hjerta,
Vakna stilla i natten!
