about

Sov du lilla vide ung (English: "Sleep, you little willow young"), otherwise known as Videvisan ("Willow song") or Solskenets visan ("Sunshine's song") is a poem by the author Zachris Topelius which was first published in the ninth issue of the children's magazine Trollsländan ("Dragonfly") on February 27, 1869.

Topelius is considered to be the first author of Swedish-language literature specifically intended for children. From the 1840s till his death he wrote some 230 poems, songs, stories and fairy tales. He was also the first in Scandinavia to write plays for children. He appeared widely, including in Trollsländan, with columns under the heading Vinterlek ("Winter play"). He intended the pieces he wrote to become a part of children's play, not to be used as theatrical performances.

Sov du lilla vide ung was part of just such a small children's play entitled Stormen och Solskenet ("The storm and the sunshine").


"Sov du lilla vide ung", "Videvisan" eller "Solskenets visa" är en dikt av författaren Zacharias Topelius som publicerades första gången i barntidningen Trollsländan, nr 9 1869.

Topelius anses vara den förste som skapade självständig barnlitteratur på svenska. Han skrev omkring 230 verser, sånger, sagor och sagospel från 1840-talet till sin död. Han var också först i Norden med att skriva skådespel för barn. Han medverkade flitigt, bland annat i tidningen Trollsländan, med pjäser under rubriken ”Vinterlek”. Han menade att pjäserna skulle lekas – inte spelas.

Sov du lilla vide ung ingår i just ett sådant litet skådespel för barn med titeln Stormen och Solskenet. I inledningen beskrivs huvudrollen "Solskenet":

” Solskenet är en liten hvitklädd flicka med ljusröd duk eller slöja. Hon sitter på en klippa och äter bort snön rundt omkring sig. I handen bär hon en slända, på hvilken hon spinner rödt silke. Hon ser snäll ut och har mycket glada ögon. „
Den mest kända tonsättningen av dikten är av Alice Tegnér.

lyrics

Sov du lilla videung,
än så är det vinter!
Än så sova björk och ljung,
ros och hyacinter.
Än så är det långt till vår,
innan rönn i blomma står.
Sov du lilla vide,
än så är det vinter.

Solskens öga ser på dig,
solskens famn dig vaggar.
Snart blir grönt på skogens stig,
och var blomma flaggar.
Än en liten solskensbön:
vide liten blir så grön.
Solskens öga ser dig.
Solskens famn dig vaggar.
