Dunklet sjunker, och vinden ringer
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Dunklet sjunker, och vinden ringer högt upp i valven i klockor dova. Granarna varna med lyftat finger: "Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!" Solen de druckit i gyllne strömmar, njutit sin dag som en vårens gåva. Nu falla ögonen samman i drömmar. "Tyst, gån tyst! Nu ska sipporna sova!"
