by Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Fragment av Schillers Thekla (Ett svar ur andevärlden)
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Hvar jag är du frågar, flygtig vorden,
då jag från min faders borgar drog?
Har jag då ej slutat allt på jorden:
har ej den som älskat, lefvat nog?

Frågar du hvart Näktergalen flydde:
hvilken sång ur vårens lund dig hann?
blott de dagar, då han kärlek lydde,
blott så länge, tro mig, lefde han.
