Heartfelt Congratulations on Gustaf's Day from (Emma?)

Heartfelt Congratulations on Gustaf's Day from Edla

The illustration on this card was made by Jenny Nyström, a famous Swedish illustrator. The verse rhymes in Swedish; the meaning is something like: "You may be as sly as a snake, but you have managed to win my affection"

The card was sent anonymously - but comparing the handwriting to the previous card, I'd say Edla sent it... Was there a romance going on between them?

Best wishes from Storegården (Fristad).  A G and E Osbeck.
