(1900)
Op. 36 no.5
Marssnön
Den svala snön därute falleroch täcker marken mer och mer,De lägga sig de hvita stjärnori hvarf på hvarf längs jorden ner.Håll slutet ån, o vår! ditt öga,sov gott i blid och vänlig snö –dess mäktigare skall du blomma,dess rikare skall sen du dö.
March Snow
The chill snow falls outsideAnd slowly covers up the ground,It scatters the white starsIn a swirl upon the earth.Close tight your eyes, o spring!Sleep well amid the gentle snow –the stronger then shall you blossom,and richer shall you slowly die.

Marssnön
Den svala snön därute faller
och täcker marken mer och mer,
De lägga sig de hvita stjärnor
i hvarf på hvarf längs jorden ner.
Håll slutet ån, o vår! ditt öga,
sov gott i blid och vänlig snö –
dess mäktigare skall du blomma,
dess rikare skall sen du dö.
March Snow
The chill snow falls outside
And slowly covers up the ground,
It scatters the white stars
In a swirl upon the earth.
Close tight your eyes, o spring!
Sleep well amid the gentle snow –
the stronger then shall you blossom,
and richer shall you slowly die.
