Om dagen är all
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the English 
Chosen for Diff
Om dagen är all,
om fåglarna ej längre sjunga,
om vinden slappnat av mot afton,
sänk då mörkrets flor tätt över mig,
så som du också svept jorden 
i sömnens täcke
och ömt slutit lotusblommans 
blad i skymningen.

If day is done
Language: English  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
If day is done,
if birds no more are singing,
if the evening wind is flagging tired, — — —
draw soft the veil of darkness thick upon me
even as thou hast wrapt the earth 
with the cover of slumber
and tenderly closed the petals 
of the drooping lotus.
