"Far from the storm that shakes the world,
in the calm I my hut attached.
With the joy that my heart tastes,
nature welcomes its guest there.

There shall my life of pleasure be nigh,

of a friendly parcel is cut off
and obtain her last grace.
There the earth will let me rest,
and some friend at the grave cry."

~Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht (28 November 1718 – 29 June 1763)
