by Karl Alfred Melin (1849 - 1919)

Signes visa
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
I Svaneliden 
om sommartiden 
där är så vackert på bergets topp.
Där kan jag sitta ibland och drömma
och tiden glömma
och stirra timtals i himlen opp.

I Svaneliden
om sommartiden 
där hör jag göken från Vänsjö strand:
då kan jag sitta Guds långa dagen
och räkna slagen
och inte göra det minsta grand.

I Svaneliden 
om sommartiden 
där ser man milsvitt i världen kring:
där kan jag sitta till kvällen sena
så helt allena
och gråta, gråta för ingenting.
