by Gustaf Fröding (1860 - 1911)

Det borde varit stjärnor
 (Sung text for setting by S. Palmgren)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Det borde varit stjärnor att smycka ditt änne
som länkar och spänne
och stråldiadem om ditt hår,
där silverljusa skira och svagtgyllne bleka
små strimmor sågos leka
likt strimmor, dem ett norrsken i kvällrymden sår.

 ...
