Voggevise
 (Sung text for setting by P. Okkenhaug)
 Matches base text
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Sov du, guten min, eg skal syngja
draumane gode i hugen din inn.
Sorg og sut skal deg ikkje tyngja
sov no og drøym, du guten min.

Sov du, guten min, eg skal bede
englane ljose sjå til deg inn
kjem dei til deg med kvar sin gleda.
Sov no og drøym, du guten min.

Kjem so ein med den hesten blanke
då får du ride i gullslottet inn;
fort det går som den snøgge tanke
sov no og drøym, du guten min.

Der det blømer så fagre blomar,
der kan du plukke full famnen din.
Englesongen ikring deg ljomar.
Sov no og drøym, du guten min.

Sov du, guten min, eg skal kyssa 
tårone vekk frå ditt vesle kinn,
Sov og dråyme, eg skal byssa
veslegut i sømnen inn.
