by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)

Gryningen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Jag tänder mitt ljus över hela Atlanten... 
Okända världar, nattliga länder 
vaknen emot mig! 
Jag är den kalla gryningen. 
Jag är dagens obarmhärtiga gudinna 
i dimgrå slöjor 
med litet tidigt morgonhjälmblänk. 
Lätt, lätt löpa mina vindar över haven. 
Mitt starka horn hänger vid min sida, jag blåser ej till uppbrott... 
Väntar jag ännu? Har en gud fördrömt sig? 
Morgonen stiger röd ur oceanen.
