by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)

Den väntande själen
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Jag är allena bland träden vid sjön, 
jag lever i vänskap med strandens gamla granar 
och i hemligt samförstånd med alla unga rönnar. 
Allena ligger jag och väntar, 
ingen människa har jag sett gå förbi. 
Stora blommor blicka ned på mig från höga stjälkar, 
bittra slingerväxter krypa i min famn, 
jag har ett enda namn för allt, och det är kärlek.
