Blåsippor

Blåsippor, also known after the opening words Blåsippan ute i backarna står, is a children's springtime song with lyrics written by Anna Maria Roos.

It was originally published as a poem in Lilla Elnas sagor in 1894.

It was set to music by Alice Tegnér and published as a song in 1895 in volume 3 of Sjung med oss, mamma! [sv].

Sylvan Beré and Knut Edgardt did an early recording inside the Stockholm Concert Hall on 19 June 1947, as part of a medley of children's songs released on a record in December that year.
