Tomten
 (Sung text for setting by V. Dahl)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Midvinternattens köld är hård. 
Stjärnorna gnistra och glimma. 
Alla sofva i enslig gård 
djupt under midnattstimma. 
Månen vandrar sin tysta ban. 
Snön lyser vit på fur och gran. 
Snön lyser vit på taken. 
Endast tomten är vaken.

 ...
