A love song

(En kärleksvisa)

I purchased my love for money,
there was nothing else I could get,
sing angelic, you rasping strings,
sing angelic of lovers yet.

That dream, that never came true ,
that dream was angelic to get,
for him, who is banished from Eden,
is Eden an Eden yet.

Original by G. Fröding, published in the collection Gralstänk, 1898.
English translation by P.O. Kristensson, 2011.

Third Hidden trails through forest's secrets

Hidden trails through forest's secrets
I shall walk in evening's hue
to the pond's deserted reed-beds,
Maiden, and shall think of you!
When the bushes start to darken,
magic sounds from reeds I hear
whispering and moaning: raking,
shed a tear, Oh, shed a tear!
Seems I hear the breezes mating
softly with your voice so free
and gentle waves in abating
your enchanting melody .

Sydney Thompson Dobell (April 5,1824-74) Eng Victorian poet & critic

  From In War-Time A Psalm Of The Heart

Be Thou her armour in the day of battle,
Whereon the sword of man shall strike in vain!
For Thou canst find the place and leave no scar,
Sting of bee, nor fairy-spot nor mole,
Yet kill the germ within the core of life.


Oh lead her in the glory of her beauty,
So that the nations wonder at her beauty!
For Thou canst take her beauty by the heart
And throw the spout of sorrow from the fountain,
The flood of sorrow thro' the veins of joy.
