by August Strindberg (1849 - 1912)

Och riddaren for uti österland
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Och riddaren for uti österland,
att bedja för kärestan sin:
O Krist, tag jungfruns själ i din hand,
i himmelrik för henne in!
Jag kommer väl åter när granen blommar.

I somrarna trenne han dröjer kvar,
där näktergal'n sjunger i kväll.
Och mässor han håller båd' nätter och da'r
i heliga gravens kapell.
Jag kommer väl åter när granen blommar.

När palmerna knoppas vid Jordans strand,
då ber han en bön till sin Gud,
att åter få vända hem till sitt land,
och trycka i famnen sin brud.
Jag kommer väl åter när granen blommar.
