possibly by Zachris Topelius (1818 - 1898)

Och ungersvennen gick sig bort till...
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Och ungersvennen gick sig bort till länder och sjö, 
farväl, o min vän! 
Krist gifve jag nu såge dig, min käraste mö, 
så glader igen, 
när björkarna löfvas i våren! 

Och drager du, min ungersven, så stolt och så huld, 
i fält och i mark, 
så skall jag virka dig af silkestråd och guld 
en brynja så stark, 
när björkarna löfvas i våren. 

Och aldrig är så trygg som den en sköld på din arm 
i lust och i nöd;
och fryser du i stål, så håller kärlek dig varm 
i lif och i död, 
när björkarna löfvas i våren.
