Aa, Sylvelin, Gud deg signe kvar evige Livsens Stund. Dei Augo blaa, dei ljose Kinn, Din raude Munn . . . Som Sol over alle Heimar, som Dag etter lange natt, Lyste du yver min tunge Hug, Og Vetti dei vonde batt! Sylvelin, Sylvelin, for deg eg bed, For deg og for alt ditt Væl, Gud signe deg alle Dagar, Du hev so rein ei Sjæl!

Sylvelin
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Aa, Sylvelin, segne Gott Dich auf Erden zu jeder Stund'! Dein Aug' ist blau, Dein Antlitz licht Und roth Dein Mund. Wie Sonnenschein auf den Feldern, Des Morgens nach langer Nacht Hast Du erhellt mir den dunklen Sinn, mich Traurigen froh gemacht. Sylvelin, Sylvelin! Allnächtlich schliess' ich in mein Gebet Dich ein. Gott segne Dich alle Tage, Er weiss: Dein Herz ist rein.
From the Sinding score.
