Haustvisa
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 See original
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Sumaren kverv og snur seg burt;
Dag etter Dag han ut or Synom siger.
Graset vil verda styrdt og turt.
Ljoset vil minka; Myrkret stiger.
Dagen er stutt, og Natti lang;
so er no Aarsens gamle Gang.

 ... 

Vetteren kjemer kald og streng;
sæl er no den, som kann i Husom hyggjast.
Gleda flyr ifraa Mark og Eng,
Fuglarne burt or Bygdom styggjast,
men sine Reid ifraa sidste Vaar
vitja dei vist eit annat Aar.

Endaa me vilja paa Landet sjaa,
helst naar me faa ein liten Glytt av Soli.
Eingong me fagre Dagar faa,
helst naar det lider fram um Joli.
Og etter all den lange Kvild
kjemer vel Vaaren, ljos og mild.
