Otrolig dag
source: Einar Malm

Mellan gula strandrågax
ser jag havet dåsa
ångbåtsrök och sillmåsflax,
tumlare som blåsa.

Världen skymtar skön och vid,
verksam i det stilla.
Hur kan man i denna frid
vilja något ila.

Special day
English translation © Jerome Lester

Between the yellow seaweed
I see the sleepy ocean
Smoke from steamships, circling seagulls,
spouting dolphins.

The world is glimpsed, beautiful and wide,
active in its calm.
How in this peace could you
want to do any harm?
