   • 1932,Evert Taube, “Calle Schewens vals [Calle Schewen's Waltz]”‎^[1]:

     Då vilar min blommande ö vid din barm, du dunkelblå, vindstillafjärd. Och julinattsskymningen smyger sig varm till sovande buskar och träd. Min älva, du dansar så lyssnande tyst och tänker att karlar är troll. Den skälver, din barnsliga hand som jag kysst, och valsen förklingar i moll.

     Then my blossoming island rests [then rests my blossoming island] on your bosom, you dark blue, still ["windstill," currently windless]archipelago / bay. And the dusk of the July night sneaks, warm, to sleeping bushes and trees. My fairy [or "elf," but withdifferent connotations], you dance so quietly, listening ["listeningly quiet"], and think to yourself [to avoid the ambiguity of just "think" here in English] that men are trolls. It trembles, your childish hand that I have kissed, and the waltz fades away in minor [key].
