Soluppgång
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Under himlens purpurbrand Ligga tysta sjö och land, Det är gryningsstunden. Snöig gren och frostvit kvist Tecka sig så segervisst Mot den röda grunden. Riddarn står vid fönsterkarm, Lyssnar efter stridens larm, Trampar golvets tilja. Men en smal och snövit hand Kyler milt hans pannas brand, Böjer mjukt hans vilja.tenderly Riddarn sätter horn till mun, Blåser vilt I gryningsstund, Över nejd som tiger. Tonen klingar, klar och spröd, Branden slocknar, gyllenröd, Solen sakta stiger.
