by Verner von Heidenstam (1859 - 1940)

Paradisets timma
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
När människorna sova
vid sommarnattens sken
och tusen röster lova
sin fröjd från gren till gren,
då purpras lingonriset
av stilla skyars gull;
då hägrar paradiset
än över jordens mull.

Du äng, låt kalkar glimma
kring älvans lätta häl!
Du paradisets timma,
din dagg gjut i vår själ!
Än jublar fågelsången
kring gryningsljusa sund
så klar som första gången
i tidens första stund.
