Sof in!
 (Sung text for setting by J. Sibelius)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN FRE
Min bleka sjukling skall luta
i tankar mot kudden sin kind,
och ögonen skall hon sluta
och låta sinnena njuta
af kärlekens sommarvind.
Min bleka sjukling, sof in!
Sof in i de ljufva och ömma,
bekymrade tankar som strömma
 ...  kring sjuklingen min!
Hvar plåga skall så du glömma
För vårliga dofter, som tömma
Sin hälsa i lugnadt sinn',
Sof roligt på kudden din.
så skall du ånyo drömma
om alt hvad en kärlek kan gömma,
— min bleka sjukling, sof in!
