En strimma hav lyrics by Edith Södergran, music by Eva Toller This is a very short but also very beautiful poem by Edith Södergran. If you want to lengthen it, you can either repeat the whole song with "oh's" or something similar, or let instruments play it as an intro to the choral score. Believe it or not, but the melodi is in Alto 1! Thus, that single pitch should be heard loudly and clearly throughout the whole tune.
