Livet
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Heimen er baade vond og god,
det skifter med Sut og Gaman.
Hæv er den, som med same Mod
kann taka mot alt tilsaman.

 ... 

Strenge Dagar maa koma paa,
men etter koma dei milde.
Den største Hugnad me stundom faa,
der minst me vona vilde.

 ... 

Kjært er Livet med all sin Harm;
det klaarnar, alt som det gjenger.
Men endaa treng eg ei Von i Barm
um eit, som varer lenger.
