by Karl August Tavaststjerna (1860 - 1898)

Du var mig mera nära
 (Sung text for setting by S. Palmgren)
 Matches original text
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Du var mig mera nära 
än lycka till sin graf,
än tomhet är till ära,
än tiggaren sin staf.

Du var mig mera nära 
än solen blomman är,
än den som måste bära 
till bördan, som han bär.

Du var mig mera nära 
än kärleken sin bikt;
du var min ljusa, skära 
försvunna vår dags dikt.

Composition:

    Set to music by Selim Palmgren (1878 - 1951), "Du var mig mera nära", 1906 [ voice and piano ]
