by Ernst Torsten Sigfrid Liljedahl (1869 - 1937)

Stjärnorna som drömmar tåga
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Stjärnorna som drömmar tåga
och vi undra och vi fråga
vad de mena med sitt ljus
där de högt i flockar gå
genom rymdens  vida hus
över våra tankar små.
Stjärnorna som drömmar tåga
vem förstår dem? Vem kan råga
måttet av en ändlös rymd
evigt blå och evigt skymd
av sitt bottenlösa blå?
Vem kan lyfta vingen 
till dem?  Ingen.
Ingen kan sin stjärna nå.
med de spegla i vårt öga
skenet av en över jord
och de segla i det höga
med vår bästa dröm ombord.
