Nocturne
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: FRE
Silverskira månskenskväll, nattens blåa bölja, glittervågor utan tal på varandra följa. Skuggor falla över vägen, strandens buskar gråta sakta, svarta jättar strandens silver vakta. Tystnad djup i sommarens mitt, sömn och dröm, - månen glider över havet vit och öm.
