by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Flickans klagan
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Hjärta, hjärta, hade jag dig framför mig,
låge du, oroliga, i min hand här,
o, då skulle hastigt min trogna omsorg
     bringa dig lugnet!

Som en mor sitt barn, jag dig skulle gunga,
föra, sakta vyssjande, fram och åter,
tills du upphört klaga och nöjd din plåga
     glömde i sömnen;

men nu bor du slutet in barmens fängsel,
otillgängligt stängt för var vänlig hyllning,
blott för honom blottat, som oupphörligt
     rubbar din vila.
