by Sigfrid Siwertz (1882 - 1970)

Även lyckan blev mig tung
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Även lyckan blev mig tung att bära;
som en börda, vilken trött jag lyfte,
var den gyllde dagen över mig,
och jag klagade vid solens fötter;
även ljuset har sin vita smärta,
även middagsglansens stråleld fräter,
och med svårmod viddens blånad tynger.
Låt det kvällas, stjärnor,
låt mig träda in i natten.
