Summary

Description
English: Illustration from Children of the Forest (Tomtebobarnen, 1910) by w:Elsa Beskow (1874 – 1953). ISBN 08-631-5049-7 The accompanying caption in Swedish explains that the elves (älvorna) lives behind a huge mossy boulder and come out at night to dance in the moonlight. The children of the forest (lit. the "w:tomte children") are trying to play w:seesaw with them, but the elves are so light and tender that even though they are eight and the children only two, they don't weight even.
Svenska:  :Men kvällarna blir mörka, och månen lyser klar,
han blickar ner på barnen så underlig och rar.
De står och ser tillbaka med fingrarna i mun,
Tills mor fått dem i sängen och vyssar dem i blund.
Där bor små fina älvor bak mossig jättesten.
De kommer fram och dansar ibland i månens sken,
och tomtebarnen tycker att inte någonting
kan vara lika vackert som älvorna i ring.
Så lätt och späd är älvan, men tomten tung och tjock,
det märktes härom afton, de skulle gunga bock.
Fast älvorna var åtta och barnen bara två
det inte ville lyckas att väga jämnt ändå.
