I am waiting for a woman from far away,

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.
