Høst på heien
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Our translations:  FRE
Korpen sidder på kirkeport
skriger så sårt med kvæld.
Nu er det tomt, og nu er der tyst
over det hvide fjeld.

Klokken ringer fra kirken tårn
udover øde sletter.
På korsene rider de hekse tre
og skriger i mørke nætter.

De danser over de tuer små
og leger med dødmands ben.
Så ler de høit i den tause kvæld
og hopper på gravenes sten.

Og korpen sidder på kirkeport,
og klokken den ringer mod kvæld.
Men ingen færdes vel længere nu
over det ødslige fjeld. -
