Villemo, Villemo, vi gick du

Villemo, Villemo,
vi gick du, gick du?
Min vilja, min tro
den fick du, fick du.

Hillevi, Hillevi,
din tro har du åter;
jag kan icke si
att du gråter, gråter.

Villemo, Villemo,
vad hör jag, hör jag?
En ann med dig bo?
Då dör jag, dör jag.

by August Strindberg (1849-1912) , no title, from Visor, no. 4
