by Ernest Thiel (1859 - 1947)

Hvad var det du ville, du lille
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Hvad var det du ville, du lille,
du lille välsignade man,
när värst mitt elände jag kände,
och all min tillförsigt svann?

Säg, ville kanhända du tända
en gnista af hopp i mitt bröst,
liksom när vi leka och peka
på lampan, som tänds vid din röst?

Säg, ville kanhända du vända
till vinst mina nederlag
och kom du med våren i spåren?
Så gjorde din moder en dag.
