The Nygård Peasant Girl
No one knows the place under the hill where
the fir trees grow thickest, and deep layers of
moss cover the ground! How should any one know
it? It has never been trod by the foot of man, no
tongue has given it a name, no pathway leads to the
hidden place, great boulders tower around it,
entangling junipers guard it, and the débris of the storm
shuts it in; the cowherd has never discovered it, even
the foxes despise it. It is the most lonely place in the
forest, and thousands of people were seeking it.
What an endless stream of searchers! They
would fill Bro church, and not only Bro, but
Löfviks and Svartsjö church too.
The children of the gentry, who are not allowed
to follow them, stand on the roadside or hang over
the fence gates, as the great procession passes. The
little ones have never dreamed that the world held
so many people, such a countless multitude. When
they grow up they will remember that long winding
stream. Their eyes will fill with tears at the very
thought of the overwhelming impression given by
that endless procession passing along the road
where only a lonely traveller, a few beggar waifs, or
a peasant’s cart were to be seen the long day through.
All who lived near the road started up and asked,
“What has happened? Is the enemy upon us?
