Kung Rings död
 (Sung text for setting by B. Crusell)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Gullmanig fåle, 
Skinfaxe, drager 
vårsol ur vågen mer härlig än förr. 
Morgonens stråle, 
dubbelt så fager, 
leker i kungssal: det klappar på dörr.

 ... 

Sade och tryckte 
Ingeborg handen, 
handen på son och på gråtande vän. 
Ögat han lyckte, 
kunglige anden 
flög med en suck till Allfader igen.
