Synnøves sang

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)

Nu tak for alt, ifra vi var små
og legte sammen i skog og lage'.
Jeg tænkte, legen den skulde gå
op i de grånende dage.

Jeg tænkte, legen den skulde gå
ud fra de løvede, lyse birke
did frem, hvor Solbakkehuse stå,
og til den rødmalte kirke.

Jeg sad og vented så mangen kvæld 
og så did bort under granehejen; 
men skygge gjorde det mørke fjæld, 
og du, du fant ikke vejen.
