Visan om solen, månen och planeterna

Visan om solen, månen och planeterna is a poem written by Betty Ehrenborg-Posse, published in 1868 in Folkskolans läsebok.[1] As a song it is, just like the Anthem of Europe, sung to the same tune as Beethoven's 9th symphony. The lyrics teach geography, astronomy and the four Northern Hemisphere temperate seasons. Nowadays, often just the closing verse is sung, named Månaderna, Januari börjar året, Månadsvisa or Visan om året.

gollark: If you change the license they can just keep using the old version.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: (oh, and to clarify a bit, by "binary" I mean the slightly unixy term for executables, not the binary numeral system)
gollark: And that *also* doesn't stop me from just sticking it on my server and not giving you the binary at all.
gollark: Intellectual property law means that you can't, say, freely give someone else a binary I give you. It doesn't mean you have the source code to it so you can make changes, and it doesn't mean I can't make it only work on one computer (based on windows's "hardware ID" or whatever).
