by Edvard Fredin (1857 - 1891)

Svärds visa
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Det hände sig en majmässedag 
och rätt om middagstid, 
de sköto eld på Faxehus, 
så lågan stod änd' i skyn. 
Faxehus ligger i svartom brandom.

De gingo sig ifrån Delsbo 
och intill Delsbo rå; 
de höggo fläsket från knogarne, 
så långt som de kunde nå. 
Faxehus ligger i svartom brandom.
