No blinkar Doggi mot Solasprett, og unge Augo mot Dagen stirer. Vaar Hug er Björki, der Fuglen smett med Leik i Lauvet, som braar og bankar. Og Hjarta bankar, og ore Tankar dei lettar Ankar med kvite Segl. Det er vel hugsamt i Ungdoms Aar aa gaa til Arbeid med Lyst og Glede; naar Jordi jublar av Von og Vaar og ligger lagleg for Plog og Sæde og Blomen breider seg alle Leider, og Livet reider sin Rikdom ut! Og Himlen sender si Signing ned, so Mod og Evna med Yrket stiger, ei Livsens Baara oss förer med og berer Verket vaart fram til Siger. Me saar med Möda, men fager Gröda me inn i Löda skal faa i Haust.

Maintenant le jour fait briller la rosée et les jeunes yeux regardent fixement le jour. Notre âme est comme un bouleau où se glisse un oiseau, jouant dans le feuillage qui frémit et palpite. Et le cœur bat, et nos pensées lèvent l'ancre avec des voiles blanches. Il est bien agréable aux jeunes années d’aller au travail avec joie et plaisir lorsqu’au printemps la terre exulte et se tient prête pour la charrue et les semailles, quand les fleurs s’épanouissent de tous côtés et que la vie déploie ses richesses. Et le ciel envoie sa bénédiction, ainsi courage et savoir croissent au travail, une vague de vie nous emporte et conduit notre travail à la victoire. Nous semons avec peine, mais nous rentrerons dans la grange une belle récolte quand viendra l’automne.
