by Karl August Tavaststjerna (1860 - 1898)
Sof in!
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Min bleka sjukling skall luta i tankar mot kudden sin kind, och ögonen skall hon sluta och låta sinnena njuta af kärlekens sommarvind. Min bleka sjukling, sof in! Sof in i de ljufva och ömma, bekymrade tankar som strömma [förtroligt]1 kring sjuklingen min! Hvar plåga skall så du glömma För vårliga dofter, som tömma Sin hälsa i lugnadt sinn', Sof roligt på kudden din. så skall du ånyo drömma om alt hvad en kärlek kan gömma, — min bleka sjukling, sof in!
