by Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom (1790 - 1855)

Glädjen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
I varelser, känner I glädjen? 
En colibri flygtingen är.
Från blomma till blomma i vexling
sitt smek och sin hyllning hon bär.
I sprittande rörlighet flägtar 
de skimrande vingarnes par
och blommornas läppar han kysser 
men blott till de hviska "Blif qvar"!
Då bort efter friskare läppar 
till främmande bygder han far.
