by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Hur skön bland österns skyar
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Hur skön bland österns skyar 
Går dagen opp 
Och fyller fält och byar 
Med fröjd och hopp! 
Ur skog och lundar skalla 
Blott glädjeljud, 
Och luftens skaror alla 
Lofsjunga Gud.

Dig, gröna äng, jag söker 
Ännu en gång, 
Der klara bäcken kröker 
Sitt muntra språng. 
Invid den gamla stammen 
Min torfbänk är, 
Och getterna och lammen 
De trifvas här.
