by Jarl Robert Hemmer (1893 - 1944)

I stilla timmar
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Dina lugna andedrag,
hur de susa, hur de svämma,
hur de dofta i min dag!
Var jag vandrar, 
som en stämma viskar 
kring mig blid och svag.
Det är dina andedrag.

Vind av mångahanda slag 
har jag sökt och har jag prövat,
många stigar har jag strövat
i den vreda världens dag.
Men den vind, som bäst har lövat
mina stigar och berövat
frosterna sitt hårda slag,
det var dina andedrag.

Dina lugna andedrag,
hur de viska såsom drömmar,
hur de dofta i min dag!
Du är du och jag är jag.
Men en flod av godhet strömmar
mjukt omkring mig i min dag.
Det är dina andedrag.
