Blomsterhambo (Flower jig)

Blueberry bloom is truly the nicest thing there is,
when you’re waiting for the richness of summer and imagine
that the pink blueberry bloom of spring will become pregnant with berries
and filled with summer’s flowing force – how wonderful that is!

Yes, they are what you’ll remember the day when everything is gone,
when all has withered away one day and summer is done.

When fragile stems and young shoots have the strength to grow
to unfold their full width out of every closed bud
to a bell and to a clover ball, to a collar of white
so that everything will be given its right form by summer

Yes, they are what you’ll remember the day when everything is gone,
when all has withered away one day and summer is done.

In the strong yellow scent of ladies bed straw, dew was rising in the dew-cups
and the blue vetch spread its tendrils beside mulleins on parade
but the stellaria lay its hair in the soft arms of the grass
where the stars of heaven had left their trace in the name of the stellaria.

Yes, they are what you’ll remember the day when everything is gone,
when all has withered away one day and summer is done.
