Text

Aftonen
Swedish source: Erik Johan Stagnelius

Aftonen nalkas,
I skuggornas hägn
Dalarna svalkas
Av pärldaggens regn.
Kvällen azuren
Med gullstjärnor strör:
Hela naturen i vällust nu dör.

Fjärilen gungas
På törnros barm:
Ljuvt hon betungas,
Dess vän är så varm.
Tyst hon sig gömmer
I blommans sköt,
Slumrar och drömmer
Om allt vad han njöt.
