by Karl August Tavaststjerna (1860 - 1898)

Tag vingar, du fina
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
  Tag vingar, du fina, 
du skimrande barn af min själ,
blif ej och förtvina 
som lyckans benådade träl!

  Tag vingar och svinga 
med sommar och solljus och doft, 
förklinga, förklinga,
en ton är ej bunden i stoft!

  Tag vingar och svinga, 
förr'n trampad i gruset du dör,
så högt, så att inga 
utaf mina suckar du hör!
