Det første Mødes Sødme
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Det første Mødes Sødme,
det er som Sang i Skoven,
det er som Sang paa Voven
i Solens sidste Rødme, --
det er som Horn i Uren
de tonende Sekunder,
hvori vi med Naturen
forenes i et Under.

Alternate version (note the spelling), from Bjørnson, Bjørnstjerne. Samlede Værker, Mindeutgave, Første bind, Kristiania og Kjøbenhavn, Gyldendalske Boghandel Nordisk Forlag, 1910, p. 80:
Det første møtes sødme,
det er som sang i skogen,
det er som sang på vågen
i solens siste rødme, --
det er som horn i uren,
de tonende sekunder,
hvori vi med naturen
forenes i et under.
Note: The scores consulted for Grieg and White employ spellings from both versions (in White's, the nouns are capitalized as above). Here is the text:
Det første mødes sødme,
det er som sang i skogen,
det er som sang på vågen
i solens sidste rødme, --
det er som horn i uren
de tonende sekunder,
hvori vi med naturen
forenes [i et]1 under.
