Nordisk vår
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Our translations: FRE
Alla mina luftslott ha smultit som snö, alla mina drömmar ha runnit som vatten, av allt vad jag älskat har jag endast kvar en blå himmel och några bleka stjärnor. Vinden rör sig sakta mellan träden. Tomheten vilar. Vattnet är tyst. Den gamla granen står vaken och tänker på det vita molnet, han i drömmen kysst.
