Den tidiga sorgen

Rosen bröt du för din glada syster,
vallmon höll du själv.
Rosen, flicka, tyder liv och kärlek,
vallmon köld och död.
Anar du ej hjärtats fröjder -- eller,
bleka ängel, säg,
äger du vid femton år ett öde
att beteckna re'n?

by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-1877) , "Den tidiga sorgen", from Lyriska dikter II
