by August Strindberg (1849 - 1912)

Sju rosor och sju eldar
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Sju rosor och sju eldar,
dem såg jag i en dröm.
Lapp, lapp och ingen söm.
Med hat du kärlek gäldar.

Sju eldar och sju rosor
med fyra ax i kors.
Est nemo nisi mors.
För känslor ger du glosor.

Från eldarna en duva
på hvita vingar for,
flyktig som ed du svor
i rosors regn, du ljuva.
