by Bo Bergman (1869 - 1967)
Orfeus
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Helig är lyran, som friar det fängslade, löser det levandes innersta röst, stillar det stormiga, söver det ängslade, smälter i milda toner kval till tröst. Orfeus, Kalliopes son, kom i lundernas sus som korag för vår sjungande tropp och ur den mörka och ensamma stundernas Hades hämta en älskad skugga opp.
