<p>* Bjorn’s Translation of Nils Ferlin’s ‘I folkviseton’ poem (as a contrast to the translation as it appears <a href=”http://user.tninet.se/~jll006w/nfeng.htm” target=”_blank”>here</a>):</p>

<blockquote>
<p>My heart, I said, it was thine;
<br />Thy heart, you said, it was mine

<br />And you said you liked the couplet

<br />Where your tears were mine when you wept

<br />So these were the rhymes we made

<br />Then you married sensibly

<br />I get royalties each time it’s played

<br />And nothing has changed for me

<br /></p>
</blockquote>
