Gustav Fröding: Ett grönt blad på marken (A Green Leaf on the ground)




Gustav Fröding, a famous Swedish Poet from Karlstad 



During the dark months, Karlstad Kommun uses a projector to project some of Froding's poetry by the side of his statue in the city. 




Grönt! Gott,

friskt, skönt vått!

Rik luft, mark!

Ljuvt stark,

rik saft,

stor kraft!

Friskt skönt

grönt!


Green! Good,

healthy, nice and wet!

Rich air, land!

Sweet strong,

rich juice,

great power!

Fresh nice

green!


Obviously the poem is written about spring, and the leaves that bring greenery.
