by Esaias Tegnér (1782 - 1846)

Mathilda
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Uti en rosenbuske satt
en näktergal,
och sjöng uti Italiens natt
i Arnos dal.
Och vågen lyddes, vestanvind
knappt andan drog,
och rödare blef rosens kind
när fågeln slog.

Då drog en Vikingson förbi,
en gäst från Nord.
Det rosenstånd med fåglen i
tog han ombord.
Nu står den ros i nordanvind,
står midt i snön,
lik rodnan på en skönhets kind,
men mera skön.

Och näktergalen slår sin drill
till nordlands ljud:
det låter som ett valdthorn till
ett segerbud.
Du söderns purpurkrona, brinn
på nordanfjäll!
Du söderns trånadssuck, försvinn
i vinterqväll!
