 ... 

Som fugle i den grønne lund
vi skal for bønder kvæde,
saa det kan gaa fra mund til mund,
fra slægt til slægt med glæde.

Det være skal vor største fryd
som skjalde barneglade,
naar hoppe kan ved sangens lyd
selv bare ben paa gade.

Det kaldes skal vor bedste sang
til evig ros og minde,
som løber rundt i Danevang,
naar piger negen binde.

Det være skal vor hæderskrans,
naar vore toner milde
med pigerne gaar let i dans
ved hvert et bøndergilde!
