- 1971, Contact (lyrics and music), “Fyrvaktarns [fyrvaktarens] dotter [The lighthouse keeper's daughter]”, in Utmarker [Outfields][1]:
- Hon föddes i kostern på väg in mot land, liten och tunn i bränningens kittel. Stormarna hälsade henne till livet, men moderns själ bar de till himlen. Och klockorna sjöng i Dyrö församling. De ringde för fyrvaktarns [fyrvaktarens] dotter.
- She was born in the koster [type of wide sailboat] on the way to [on the way in toward] land, small and thin in the cauldron of the surf.
