Balders Bål
 (Sung text for setting by C. Ridderstolpe)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Midnattssolen på bergen satt,
blodröd till att skåda,
det var ej dag, det var ej natt,
det vägde emellan båda.

Baldersbålet, den solens bild,
brann på vigda härden.
Snart är ändå lågan spilld,
då rår Höder för världen.

 ...
