In the Memory of Pioneers on Nerike Hill Where are Ole, Peter, Lars and Hans, the weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighter? All, all are sleeping on the hill One passed in a fever, some were drowned in the lake, one was killed in a brawl, one died in a runaway, one fell from a bridge, toiling for children and wife… All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Adaptation of ”Spoon River Anthology” Reprinted in the book Stockholm Saga by Forslund & Larson 162
