Grumla icke flickans själ
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Flickan satt vid bäckens strand, Tvådde sina fötter der. Sjöng en fogel ofvanför: "Flicka, grumla bäcken ej, Himlen syns ej mer i den!" Flickan slog sitt öga opp, Talade med tårad blick: "Sörj ej öfver bäcken, du, Bäcken klarnar snart igen. När du såg mig stå en gång Vid en ynglings sida här, Du till honom tala bort: Grumla icke flickans själ, Aldrig skall den klarna se'n, Aldrig spegla himlen mer."
