by Ernst Josephson (1851 - 1906)
Japansk akvarell
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
En fågel genom natten far, jag tror att det en uggla var; hans blick stod lysande och klar, han på sin färd småfåglar tar. Över hela himmelen vida ett långsträckt moln syns glida, ett jättelångskepp, smalt och svart, under drömmande stjärnor blida. Vart skall det skrida? Vart skall det skrida? Vart?
