by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Den hemkommande
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ensliga sken,
flamma, som stjärnornas ren,
ljus från min fädernehärd,
tindrar i natten du än?
Glada, förtroliga värld,
väntar du vandrarn igen?

Dagen är all
mörk är min bana och kall,
dyster i skogarna här
vintern, den isiga, rår:
ljus, där du tindrar, o där
finner jag kärlek och vår.

Skynda din gång,
lycklige! Kanske en gång
kommer du åter och ser
stum mot ditt fädernetjäll;
ljus är din hydda ej mer,
kulen och ödslig din kväll.
