"De vandrande dj?knarne" is a novel in Swedish by the Swedish writer Viktor Rydberg (1828--1895). It was first published in the daily newspaper "G?teborgs Handels- och Sj?fartstidning" in April and May 1856, using the pen name "Agricola". In 1896 it was published in volume 3 of the author's collected works ("Skrifter", 14 volumes), which reappeared in many editions and reprints over the following years. "Skrifter" has a commentary by Swedish literature historian Karl Warburg (1852-1918), which is also included here.
This e-text was produced for Project Gutenberg from Project Runeberg's digital facsimile edition, which is based on volume 3 of the author's collected works ("Skrifter"), fifth edition, printed in 1915, available at http://runeberg.org/djaknar/

"Kom, afton, s?nk dig neder! Du ger oss m?dans l?n. Vad lugn du oss bereder! Natur, vad du ?r sk?n! Se, aftonrodnan vilar i dalens svala famn, fr?n f?stet solen ilar bort till en annan hamn. Tyst, tyst ?r allt som andas, blott n?ktergalens ljud med kv?llens vindar blandas, han kallar p? sin brud ..."
Refr?ngen tages om igen:
"Tyst, tyst ?r allt som andas -- -- --"
- Jo, vackert tyst, inf?ll Adolf, den av de b?da dj?knarne, som sj?ng f?rsta st?mman, h?r du d? icke, huru inspektorn... eller vad karlen ?r f?r n?got... gormar och sv?r d?r nere med sitt arbetsfolk? ?r det n?ktergalens ljud, det?
- Nog h?r jag det, Adolf, svarade den andre dj?knen, men d? man befinner sig i s?ngens h?gre regioner, lyssnar man icke till m?nniskornas tomma ?vlan nere i gruset... N?, vill du icke sjunga mera?
- Nej, G?ran, jag vill dricka.
- Jas?, ?r du t?rstig, du lille sk?lm! N?, jag s?ger ingenting d?rom; dagen har varit varm, och man m?ste sk?lja ned landsv?gsdammet. L?t se... vad ?r i flaskan, som din pappa godhetsfullt gav oss till reskamrat? ?nnu n?got, ser jag. Sk?l, Adolf!
- Gut?r, l?nge G?ran!... Jag blir icke ot?rstig, d?rf?r att du dricker ur alltsammans.
- Lugna dig, gosse! Jag l?mnar kvar s? mycket, som jag, med anv?ndande av approximationsteorien, kan ber?kna, att din lilla korpus t?l. Parvum parva decent... sm?tt h?ves en liten... s?ger v?r of?rg?tlige v?n H?kan Sj?gren.
- Gl?m icke, G?ran, att du har d?ligt betyg i algebran! S?, stopp nu!
De b?da samtalande voro tvenne ynglingar fr?n gymnasiet i V?xj? -- dj?knar, som allmogen ?nnu kallar dem. De voro ute p? botanisk exkursion, efter vad deras port?rer och botanikspadar visade; ?tminstone begagnade de botaniken s?som f?rev?ndning f?r att under sommarferierna str?va omkring p? landsbygden och s?ka ?ventyr. Dylika str?vt?g hava sedan gamla tider legat i V?xj?-gossarnes smak, och bland b?nderna i nejden g? m?nga historier om kringvandrande dj?knars ?ventyr och putslustiga uppt?g.
De b?gge v?nnerna hade slagit sig ned i gr?set p? en kulle under en lummig ek. De hade d?rifr?n utsikt ?ver ett h?rligt sm?l?ndskt landskap med sm? insj?ar, slingrande b?ckar, furumoar och l?vdungar.
G?ran, den ?ldre av dem, var en h?gv?xt, kraftig yngling med jovialiska ansiktsdrag och anl?ggning till polisonger. Han hade sina tjugu ?r p? nacken och stod nu
