Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Dunklet sjunker, och vinden ringer
högt upp i valven i klockor dova.
Granarna varna med lyftat finger:
"Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!"

Solen de druckit i gyllne strömmar,
njutit sin dag som en vårens gåva.
Nu falla ögonen samman i drömmar.
"Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!"
