Den långa dagen
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Förr, när min vän var här, var mig en vårdag kort; Nu då han borta är, är mig en höstdag lång! "Ack hvad den dagen flyr!" säga de andra nu - "Ack hvad den dagen flyr!" Jag: "hvad den långsam är" O, att den ville fly! Kommer ej qvälen snart? Kommer ej nattens ro?
