by Carl David af Wirsén (1842 - 1912)

Om min tanke långt från gruset
 (Sung text for setting by L. Netzel)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Om min tanke långt från gruset
Stundom ilar, glad och fri,
Om mitt öga trår till ljuset,
Är det något ondt deri?

Hvarför undra, om jag svingar
Mig dit ofvan då och då?
Hvarför fick fogeln vingar,
Om han frukta skall det blå?

 ...
