by Bible or other Sacred Texts and sometimes misattributed to Oscar II, King of Sweden (1829 - 1907), as Oscar Fredrik

Vindarna sucka uti skogarna
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Vindarna sucka uti skogarna
Forsarna brusa uti älvarna
Vågorna gunga sakta
Gunga sakta fram mot Siljans strand

Fullmånen glimmar mellan skyarna
Ljusen de tindra uti byarna
Fjällarnas kam omgjutes
De omgjutes skönt av norrskensbrand

Ensam i stilla stjärnenätterna
Långt utåt vida Moraslätterna
Vallar jag fåren mina
Vallar och sjunger [se'n]1 på egen hand
