Gamle Grendi
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Tidt eg minnest en gamall Gard
med store Tre og Runnar,
Vollar, Bakkar og Berg og Skard
og Blomster paa grøne Grunnar.
Der eg hadde meg so godt eit Rom:
Hus og Mark med baade Bær og Blom,
alt eg nøytte som ein Eigedom
med baade Lut og Lunnar.

 ... 

Var det nokon, som der leid vondt
og vardt fyre Tap og Spilla,
braadt det spurdest um Bygdi rundt,
og alle tykte, det var illa.
Ofta minnest eg mi gamle Grend,
naar eg framand uti Verdi stend,
heimlaus, frendelaus og litet kjend,
og likar paa Leiken illa.
