Vandrer jeg i Graneskogens Stille,
hører Løvets Sus, det tungsindsmilde,
Bjældeklangen som en Vemodstrille
lyde dæmpet over Tjernets Vand,
-- da et Suk i Stilheden jeg fanger:
Skogen sørger for sin tabte Sanger,
Norges Skytsaand, Henrik Vergeland!

 ... 

Stolte Billed paa vort Vaarlivs Sage,
Bolde Kjæmper i de onde Dage,
du, hvis stærke Skuldre uden Klage
tog vor Byrde og til Død holdt Stand!
Skjønne Morgengry, du signet være!
Hjertet svulmer ved dit Livsdigts Ære,
Norges Skytsaand, Henrik Vergeland!
