Semele, Semele, vem narrade dig, du...

Semele, Semele,
vem narrade dig, du kära,
att älskarens anlet se?
Ej kommer man makter nära,
om icke för att dem be.

Semele, Semele,
din älskare kom i glansen
bland väsande blixtar ställd,
din brudkrans blev offerkransen;
nu brinner du opp i hans eld.

by August Strindberg (1849-1912) , no title, from Visor, no. 3
