Tyst är lunden och sjön, som kysst strandens somnade ros, är tyst. Aftonskimret, som mildt besken tempelkullen, har bleknat ren stilla, drömmande stilla. Tysta stjärnor ur hafvet gå, stilla palmernas kronor stå, sen därunder i myrtenskog, Vinden suckade nyss och dog Stilla, drömmande, stilla. [Trött]1 najad har på mossig bädd, Sjunkit ned vid sin urnas brädd, Söfd af sorlande källans sus: Barmen häfves i månens ljus Stilla, drömmande, stilla. Medan hon ser i ljuflig dröm Stelnad, kristallren, tidens ström Och all världen från ve och harm Somnad in på Allfaders arm. Stilla, drömmande, stilla.
Confirmed with Viktor Rydberg, Dikter, Atlantis, Stockholm, 1996, page 134.

Le bois est silencieux et le lac embrassant la rose endormie sur la plage, est silencieux. Les lueurs du soir tombant doucement sur la butte du temple, se sont décolorées, paix, paisible rêverie. Des étoiles émergent en silence de la mer, les couronnes des palmiers sont immobiles, plus bas, dans le bois de myrtes, le vent tardif gémit encore et expire, paix, paisible rêverie. La naïade lasse, sur un lit de mousse s'est couchée près du bord de sa jarre, bercée par le murmure de la source : Sa poitrine se soulève à la lumière de la lune, paix, paisible rêverie. Tandis que dans un doux rêve elle regarde le cours du temps, figé, cristallin, et le monde entier, libéré d'angoisses et chagrins, s'endormir dans les bras du Père. paix, paisible rêverie.
