by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)

Vad fruktar jag?
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Vad fruktar jag?
Jag är en del utav oändligheten.
Jag är en del av alltets stora kraft,
en ensam värld inom miljoner världar,
en första gradens stjärna lik som slocknar sist.

Triumf att leva, triumf att andas,
triumf att finnas till!
Triumf att känna tiden iskall rinna genom sina ådror
och höra nattens tysta flod
och stå på berget under solen.

Jag går på sol, jag står på sol,
jag vet av ingenting annat än sol, sol.
