Dofta, dofta vit syren
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Dofta, dofta vit syren uti nattens timmar, nytänd måne, strö ditt sken, som i sölfglans glimmar, se, min kära drömmer där, där på bänken, blond och skär, medan klöfvern ångar ifrån fält och vångar. Dofta stilla, hvit syren, stör ej hennes drömmar, nytänd måne, strö ditt sken uti gyllne strömmar, stänk kring hennes blonda hår gloria af ljus och vår, medan ljuflig skrider natt i pingstens tider!
