Du gamle Mor! du sliter arm,
so Sveitten er som Blod,
men enddå i dit Hjarta varm,
og du meg gav min sterke Arm
og dette ville Mod.

Du turka Tårer af mit Kinn
so mang ein Herrens Gong,
og kyste meg som Guten din
og bles meg uti Barmen in
min sigerfulle Song.

Og gamle du, du gav til meg
mi mjuke Hjarterot,
og difor må eg elska deg,
kvar helst eg vankar på min Veg,
om so på villand Fot.
