Translation by Carl Hakon Wigert-Lundström (1875 - 1936)

Morgonhälsning

Language: Swedish (Svenska) after the Russian (Русский)

Jag kom till dig för att hälsa, 
tala om, att solen skiner,
att den redan bränner hett på 
skogens gröna bladgardiner;
tala om, att skogen vaknat, 
vaknat all den späda grönskan, 
vaknat alla skogens fåglar, 
fyllda varmt af vårlig önskan...

Confirmed with Ord och Bild. Illustrerad Månadsskrift, utgifven af Karl Wåhlin, Sjette Årgången, 1897, page 269, in a section titled Ryska Strofer.
