by Hans Utbø (1849 - 1875)

Ein Vaartankje
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Chosen for Diff
Naar Vaaren leikad borti Bjørkelid, 
Naar Blomen oppnad Augat sitt so blid, 
Naar Fuglen kvittrad paa fi grønne Grein,
Og Soli glad paa heile Leikjen skjein, -- 
Daa bars det fyr meg som i fager Draum
Med Song og Leik i livands Tonestraum:
Her maa det vera, -- her paa denna Jord,
-- Naar ho af Herren eingong verdt forklaarad', -- 
Att me skaa njota ævleg Gleda stor, 
Att me skaa ævleg lykkelege vara!

Confirmed with Lur-Saat. Disur og Stev samla av Olav Normann, Kristiania, Bertrand Jensens Forlag, 1897, page 77.
