Vintersorg

Under flitens lampa hon antrade sin scen
For att falla masken fran amnen fordomda
Och bryta fortrollningen hos dessa stralningsfenomen
Som bor och verkar I det gomda
Med modans aror pa en obruten ocean
Av omvarldens passivitet
Beseglade hon materialens mystiska karavan
Med vindflojeln pekandes mot osynlig radioaktivitet
Sinnet brann av forundran och oforstalld passion
Nar morkret upplystes av isolerat radium
Dock tarde dessa studier som den yttersta erosion
Och lidelsen blev ett lidande I cellernas rum
Uppbyggnad, egenskap och omvandling
Ar orden som ekar i din livshandling
Marie Curie; din ande ar fri
Fran ouppfyllda drommar
Du tog kemi till radiologi
I alfapartiklarnas strommar
Marie Curie; din stravan i
Att foradla experimentens metoder
Skapade en helt nya akademi
Och du blev dess ledstjarna och moder
[English translation:]
RAYS
Under the lamp of diligence she entered her scene
To make the mask of cursed elements fall
And break the spell over these radiation phenomenons
That live and work concealed
With the oars of toil on an unbroken ocean
Of the passivity of the world around
She sailed the mystic caravan of the materials
With the weather vane pointing towards invisible radioactivity
Her mind burned with fascination and undisguised passion
When the darkness was lit up by isolated radium
Yet these studies consumed like the utmost erosion
And the passion became a suffering in the cells rooms
Structure, attribute and transformation
Are the words that echo in your lifes work
Marie Curie; your spirit is free
From unfulfilled dreams
You took chemistry to radiology
In the currents of alpha particles
Marie Curie; your ambition
To refine the methods of the experiments
Created a completely new academy
And you became its guiding star and mother
