Den enda stunden
 (Sung text for setting by C. Lithander)
 Matches original text
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Allena var jag,
han kom allena;
förbi min bana
hans bana ledde.
Han dröjde icke,
men tänkte dröja,
han talte icke,
men ögat talte.
Du obekante,
du välbekante!
En dag försvinner,
ett år förflyter,
det ena minnet
det andra jagar;
den korta stunden
blev hos mig evigt,
den bittra stunden,
den ljuva stunden.
Confirmed with Johan Ludvig Runebergs Samlada Skrifter, F. & G. Beijers Förlag, Stockholm, 1870; Akademiska Boktryckeriet, Ed. Berling, Uppsala 1870.
