about

I wrote this poem when I was walking one night in July. I came to a moist meadow, and suddenly I saw something shining in the grass. It was Platanthera bifolia, a white orchid that smells wonderful at night. There is something mystical about this plant, which looks so fragile, but is so alive when darkness falls. It immediately gave me inspiration to write what might be called a harvest song.

lyrics

Närd av dagg och månljus sträcker hon sig sakta emot skyar som aldrig rämnar.
Skör som fröat älggräs vajar hon i takt till madrigalen som föds ur gransus.

Nu ska liarna slipas. Nu ska hässjorna resas.
Hon som blommat ska vissna och förvandlas till liv.

Född att tjäna natten böjer hon sin nacke bort från solen som bränner hagmark.
Dömd att dö för ljuset gömmer hon sitt likbleka anlete under skuggors bladverk.
