by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)
Skymning
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Natten kommer stor i sitt ulliga skägg och ler ett helt leende åt det halvt beslöjade. Oformligt jättelikt ur de stumma syrenerna växer i skymningen parkens kontur. De täcka syrenerna hava sömniga öron, de drömma att solen stiger ned på jorden... Vad kan en drömlik skymning mot alla vakna tankar som osedda stjäla sig förbi...
