101/365 Songs: Ett Herrans Underverk – Kristina från Duvemåla
I’m continuing the series of songs from Kristina från Duvemåla today (more information here). In a work full of tender moments, this song represents one of the most tender. Ulrika is a changed woman since her arrival in Minnesota. Back in Sweden her reputation meant that no man would consider marrying her, but in America she is spoiled for choice. She accepts the proposal of Reverend Jackson and in this song, Ett Herrans Underverk (A Miracle of the Lord), Kristina and Ulrika contemplate how their relationship has gone from one of hatred to close friendship given the struggles they have gone through together. Kristina wishes Ulrika many years of happy marriage.
