En ghasel
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Ungdomsdrömmens ord vet ingen. Namn på lyckans jord vet ingen. Om min drömda kära bor i söder eller nord, vet ingen. Seglen fly; och om den enda far förbi ombord, vet ingen. Svar på hjärtats vilsna undran, fast så ofta spord, vet ingen. Måsen vet en väg till vila. Hjärtat, ovan jord, vet ingen.
