by Karl August Tavaststjerna (1860 - 1898)
Dag efter dag
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Dag efter dag stummare blir min bön, stummare, mera skön slag efter slag. År efter år sucken blir mera tyst, tiden från smärtan kysst tår efter tår. Gång efter gång hjärtat, som gaf, blott gaf, tolkas i välljud af sång efter sång.
