by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Löjet var utan hem,
 (Sung text for setting by J. Sibelius)
 Matches original text
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Löjet var utan hem,
Irrade modfäldt kring,
Kom till den höges mun:
"Får jag min boning här?" --
"Stoltheten bor här re'n!"

Löjet var utan hem,
Irrade modfäldt kring,
Kom till den lärdes mun:
"Får jag min boning här?" --
"Allvaret bor här re'n!"

Löjet var utan hem,
Irrade modfäldt kring,
Kom till min flickas mun:
"Får jag min boning här?" -- 
"Kärleken bor här re'n,
Kyssen är kommen nyss,
Dig har man saknat blott."
