Vaardagen
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Upp av Krakken! Sumarsoli skin i grøne Bakken; Jordi heve fenget Helgar-Plagget paa, Skogen stend i Lauv so lysteleg aa sjaa. Livet lettnar, Vollen turkar seg, og Vegen slettnar. Varma Guster leda Lauvet paa dei grøne Ruster. Nyst var Regn, og Jordi fekk sitt milde Bad, reint er kvart eit Straa, og laugat kvart eit Blad; Toppen sprikjer, Blomen slær seg ut, og Bladet slikjer. Inn um Glaset fær eg Angen av det grøne Graset. Vist er Vinden rik paa Liv og Lækjesaft; ut eg vil og sanka Helsebot og Kraft; alt for lenge sat eg inne som ein Fugl i Stenge. Kvar ein kagar, alltid nokot nytt seg uppedagar. Nye Blomar spretta fram paa alle Rom; lette Fivreld' yppa seg fraa Blom til Blom; Fuglar sviva upp med Song og rundt um Rusti driva. Kvar ein lyder, Liv og Ljod paa Viddom fram seg byder. Lat oss ganga seint og sjaa oss vel i Kring: Vegen er so full av fagnadsame Ting. Langa Stunder treng eg til aa sjaa paa desse Funder.

Frühlingstag
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Auf in's Freie! Sommersonne strahlet hell auf's Neue, Erde legte an ihr grünes Festgewand, leuchtend blauer Himmel lachet übers Land; leicht wird das Leben, trocken werden die Wege und eben. Allenthalben sieht man neues Leben sich entfalten; duftend bunte Blumen spriessen rings empor, Schmetterlinge gaukeln über'm Blumenflor; Vöglein schweben, jubelnd grüssen sie das neue Leben.
From the Sinding score.
