UNCOUTH METAPHOR

If Värmland was a whopping
person, body and soul, I think
that huvu't sat in the north, of course,
it wont sit highest, Guna's,
a kidney sat well, I believe
in the area of Sunnemo,
the other kidney there would probably
far west towards Gunnarskog.
And stomach stretched well from Kil and northward occasional mil.
What Karlstad would be then ...
that I dare not think about!

From Lat poet

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

Lord, then email to licksûm
herdn my DA,

He risers OPP mâ right into the soul,
he show in mâ on di rä'tt väga'n.
If yes see geck in sjôlvaste gravda'ln
have nothin 'yes A was afraid fö'r before you e tra mâ,
on the stick and stick your comforting mâ.
You furnish a bol at mâ mett framma eye

All good - sufficed ijönnûm - you'll see that yes tea may see Langi yes Lev.

A Yes will dwell bortnâr Lord in evihet.

Psalm 23 from the Bible Verses on Dalbymål
