I am waiting by my bonfire -6 6 6 6 5 4 4 while the hours pass, 4-4 5 5 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4 while the stars wander and the nights pass by. 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8-7 -7 7 6 6 I am waiting for a woman from far away, 5 -5 -5 -5 -4 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -3 4 the dearest, the dearest wi--th blue eyes. I imagined a wandering, snow-covered flower and dreamed of a trembling elusive laugh. I thought I saw my beloved coming through the woods, over the moors on a snowy night. Gladly would I carry my dream girl in my hands, through the brushes over to where my cabin is, and raise a jubilant cry toward my dear, "Welcome you who has been expected for lonesome years." I am waiting by my charcoal kiln while the hours pass, while the woods sing and the clouds drift. I am waiting for a wandering woman from far away -- the dearest, the dearest with blue eyes. Dan Andersson, Swedish Poet (1888-1920) He died young accidently in his hotelroom. The room had been sprayed with toxic against bugs the day before....A sad but true story. |
