Description of work

Andantino G major 6/8

Work comment

"The music is to a great extant a likely unintentional loan from the second movement of Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique" (according to the Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon)

The song also exists in a version for mixed choir a cappella (T.T.B.B.). See further the individual post for that version.

Libretto/text

Till skogs en liten fågel flög;
från sommarhimlen blå och hög
