Ensam i dunkla skogarnas famn
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Ensam i dunkla skogarnas famn Går jag enslig stig. Doften rosor! Doften, blommor i fläktars sus, Doften alla vid stjernors ljus, Dofta, hjerta, Dofta stilla i natten! [Ensam i mörka skogarnas djup]1 Går jag enslig stig. Sjungen skogar! Sjungen grottor [och källors sus]2, Sjungen alla vid månens ljus, Sjung, mitt hjerta, Sjung [o!]3 stilla i natten. [Ensam i gröna skogarnas lund]4 Går jag enslig stig. Vaknen andar! Vaknen [andar]5 i lunders sus, [Vaknen]6 alla vid [nattens]7 ljus, Vakna hjerta, Vakna stilla i natten!
