by August Strindberg (1849 - 1912)

Välkommen åter snälla sol
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Välkommen åter snälla sol,
Som jagat nordanvinden;
Nu har du sovit sen i fjol,
Och vaknar röd om kinden.

Värm upp vår jord så växer råg,
Och fyller bondens lada;
Värm sund och vik och vind och våg,
Så få vi gå och bada.

Välkommen åter snälla sol,
Lys över land och vatten;
Nu klingar sång, nu stäms fiol,
Nu dansas hela natten.
