Himlens blå
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: FRE
Du underbara dunkla klarhet, du himmelska blå, som leende sänker dig till mig och lyfter min själ till svala rymder och helig stillhet! Du ljuva Nirvana, där, badad i renhet, jag andar mig ut i oändligheten, men, samlad igen i en återandning, döpt i trånad sjunker tillbaka i jordens stoft!
Confirmed with Viktor Rydberg, Dikter, Atlantis, Stockholm, 1996, page 127.
