Over de höje fjælde
 (Sung text for setting by A. Andersen)

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Undrer mig på, hvad jeg får at se
  over de høje fjelde? 
Øjet møder nok bare sne.
Rundt omkring står det grønne træ,
  vilde så gerne over,
  tro, når det rejsen vover? 

 ... 

Skal jeg da aldrig, aldrig nå
  over de høje fjelde? 
Skal denne mur mine tanker slå,
sådan med sne-is og rædsel stå
  stængende der til det sidste,
  blive min dødningekiste? 

 ... 

Engang, jeg véd, vil det række frem
  over de høje fjelde,
kanske du alt har din dør på klem? 
Herre, min Gud! godt er dit hjem,
  lad det dog endnu stænges,
  og jeg få lov til at længes!
