Rafael Hertzberg studied at the Imperial Alexander University (current University of Helsinki) where he graduated with a licentiate degree in 1889. He worked as a literature, theater and art critic at Helsingfors Dagblad from the end of the 1860s and from 1875–1888 as the newspaper's cultural editor. He later worked at Hufvudstadsbladet and was offered the position of chief editor in 1890.[1]

In the 1890s, Hertzberg was also acting as a Finnish agent for foreign life insurance companies. He also designed a typewriter which was manufactured and marketed by Husqvarna under the trade name Sampo during 1894–95.[2][3]

As a translator, he initially devoted himself to traditional Finnish folk songs. He performed the first Swedish translation of the play A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen (1880. He wrote the libretto for Jean Sibelius’ sole opera, Jungfrun i tornet (1896). He also wrote plays, including dramatizations of the poems of Johan Ludvig Runeberg.[4]

He is today mostly known for writing the lyrics of the Christmas song Julpolska ("Nu ha vi ljus här i vårt hus ") with music by Johanna Ölander (1827-1909).[5]
