lyrics

Du lindar av olvon en midsommarkrans och hänger den om ditt hår.
Du skrattar åt mångubbens benvita glans som högt över tallen står.
Inatt skall du dansa vid Svartrama tjärn i långdans, i språngdans på glödande järn.
Inatt är du bjuden av dimman till dans där Ull-Stina, Kull-Lina går.

Nu tager du månen från blåbergets kam att ge dig en glorias sken.
Och ynglen som avlats i gölarnas slam blir fålar på flygande ben.
Nu far du till Mosslinda, mosslunda mor där Ull-Stina, Kull-Lina, Gullfina bor.
Inatt skall du somna vid Svartrama damm, där natten och mossan är len.
