by Bo Bergman (1869 - 1967)
Under vintergatan
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Högt i det höga slår vintergatan sin bro. Ensam och fri jag går som i en främmad stad. Hemlös fast jag har hem, rolös fast allt är ro, längtar jag, men till vem, hoppas jag, men på vad? Snön gör det tyst, och år läggas till årens rad. Vänner, ungdom och tro djupt i det djupa bo.
