by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)

Ankomst till Hades
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Se här är evighetens strand, 
här brusar strömmen förbi, 
och döden spelar i buskarna 
sin samma entoniga melodi.

Död, varför tystnade du? 
Vi äro komna långt ifrån 
och äro hungriga att höra, 
vi hava aldrig haft en amma 
som kunnat sjunga såsom du.

Kransen som aldrig smyckat min panna 
lägger jag tyst till din fot. 
Du skall visa mig ett underbart land 
där palmerna höga stå, 
och där mellan pelarraderna 
längtans vågor gå.
